Creator's Key Takeaways

The overall impression is one of sleekness, of modernity. It is immaculately clean.

The theater itself has been much commented on and it is as poorly designed as people say it's just simply too small.

Magic Castle I thought was actually worth every penny.

The ship rarely felt crowded, which I thought was a pleasant surprise given its size.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book the cabana mini suite for a more expansive balcony experience.
βœ“Use the aft elevator to access the buffet and avoid crowds.
βœ“Consider Spellbound by Magic Castle for a unique entertainment option.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

First impressions may be underwhelming due to boarding location. β€” Temper expectations and focus on the ship's many strengths once onboard.
Entertainment in the main theater may be disappointing. β€” Consider alternative entertainment like Spellbound by Magic Castle or guest performers.
