Creator's Key Takeaways
I found the app to be pretty well designed and responsive and you don't need to purchase an internet plan to use its free features which is great as well
My favorite was actually The Alchemist Bar which had cocktail classes going on and lots of smoky cocktails uh it was really really cool
Sha's big chicken was actually amazing and Guys burger joint had the best burger I've ever had at Sea
I'd recommend an ocean view or a balcony cabin if the price is right on this ship because there's really great Pacific Views throughout the voyage
