Creator's Key Takeaways
This is a ship where people live full-time.
This is one of the nicer gyms that I have seen here on any cruise ship, especially of this size.
This is such a small, intimate ship that you've got such nice views and you're so close to the water.
My favorite part of this room, though, was the balcony.
