Creator's Key Takeaways

We recently sailed out of the brand new MSSE terminal and it is spectacular.

It is really, really beautiful. It is massive.

This is a really beautiful area and it is uh lead gold certified.

We did book this for around $230 for the night, which is very reasonable for a very nice hotel.
