Creator's Key Takeaways

The pizza. I ain't going to lie, it's up there with virgin. I'M GOING SAY 8.5. 8.5 out of 10.

The food part. That's what that's the part that have me nervous. And you know, honestly, I did we did bring our seasoning cuz we was told we was advised to bring our seasoning with us.

I am impressed with the food very much so with it being our first habachi on a cruise ship.

The Michael Jackson show. That was probably by far the best show at C. I'm going to say more than Royal Caribbean off the show.

Bring your own seasoning and snacks.
Make specialty dining reservations beforehand.
Disinfect your room when you first board.
Go to the back elevators when boarding to avoid crowds.
Try the pizza at the Marketplace buffet on deck 8 for it to be fresh.
