Creator's Key Takeaways
overall we had a great cruise but as we got home and began to reflect on our experience there are a few things that stuck out about our cruise
the two main shows um on this Cruise were Beetlejuice a Broadway style experience that was based on the popular 1988 comedy horror movie with the same name and another show titled icons featuring songs from music legends from the last six decades
the ship has the new starlink internet installed and it was great and we've been on many cruises where the internet is good but can still be a little hit and miss based on where you are on the ship but for us the ship Wi-Fi worked great everywhere we were
the Viva has a lot of great bars but as previously mentioned the Luna Bar and Cay bar on Deck 8 at the after the ship they're not great not because of the people or the location but believe it or not is because of their selection
