Creator's Key Takeaways
100 cruises. This might be one of the best.
That was absolutely blooming. Fantastic.
It's still got its sparkle. It's still shining brightly and we would still highly recommend it.
The food has been fantastic. Yes, you always get hits and misses on every single cruise line, but the level of food is still at specialty restaurant quality or better.
