Creator's Key Takeaways

In a lot of ways, it's superior, particularly the way they do the drink package. I I wish other cruise lines would do it that way.

It is a nice experience uh to not see the kids everywhere you look on board.

The purpose uh there is really it's more of a social area. It's a very very tiny swimming pool.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty dining and entertainment 45 days in advance.
Be prepared for a food court style dining experience (The Galley) rather than a traditional buffet.
Plan for a fitness-oriented atmosphere and a social-focused pool deck.
