Creator's Key Takeaways

we finally went on our first ever Cruise back in February of 2025

it was beautiful it was fun we had an amazing time

I was pretty happy with it I was honestly expecting the room to be a lot more cramped than it was

the food was amazing it was a very elevated Asian meal and we were each able to choose an appetizer a side an entree and a dessert

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Let valet handle your luggage to avoid carrying it through long lines.
βœ“Choose a stateroom away from elevators and the casino to minimize noise.
