Creator's Key Takeaways

The crew and the service on board has been really, really good so far in all of those locations.

The highlight tonight was definitely the production show in the main theater, which was called Main Stage.

The whole system was just not very organized. So, we ended up waiting a little longer than what we probably should have.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Watch the safety video ahead of time to save time during embarkation.
Be aware that opening the infinite veranda door may turn off the air conditioning.
