Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm on board. Check-in was so fast. Literally just scanned some things and walked straight onto the ship.

I've never seen that on a cruise before. So, that is quite impressive.

I'm so excited. Got the whole week to myself to relax and explore.

Food was 10 out of 10.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the request card in your cabin for any extra needs.
Attend the solo travelers meetup to make friends.
Try the Cday brunch in the main dining room to avoid buffet crowds.
Ask for vegan options even if not on the menu; crew can often accommodate.
If interested in casino rewards, set a points goal and track your spending.
