Creator's Key Takeaways

She is old. She has got work to do. There's a lot of spaces on board that they haven't yet got to with the refurbishment, but you can see just how much they're trying to bring her back.

Nothing could be further from the truth on that first experience. She is old. She has got work to do.

I highly recommend it. And and and if you are going to book an overnight stay, try and book one of the historic rooms.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book a historic room for an authentic experience.
โœ“Visit on a Tuesday night for the 'Meet Me at the Mary' event.
โœ“Combine a visit with a cruise from nearby San Pedro port.
