Creator's Key Takeaways
we were more than pleasantly surprised when boarding the ship about just how friendly laid-back and ambient the ship and her crew was
the ship was in fact reassuringly laid back and full of delightful little experiences that were very well thought out
i absolutely loved it
the balcony is much deeper than many of the new larger cruise ships out there and the hammock which again might seem on first impressions to be a gimmick is an absolutely genius move
