Creator's Key Takeaways
What happens when your cruise misses two ports? There's a norovirus outbreak on board and yet you still really enjoy it.
We ended up with three days in Stockholm instead. And that ended up being the absolute highlight of the cruise for me.
Arcadia really delivers that peaceful cruise experience.
Ocean Grill was absolutely fabulous. Probably my favorite meal of the cruise.
