Creator's Key Takeaways

The only downside I have noticed is that the text is a lot smaller. I have to read really close to it cuz it is quite small now.

If cabin location is important to you, we definitely recommend paying a little extra to choose your own cabin.

So, we just come to our room and our car is just not working at all. So, we're going to have to go down to reception.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Agree on a taxi fare before getting in to avoid being ripped off.
Choose cabins sandwiched between passenger decks for the quietest experience.
If prone to seasickness, choose cabins lower down and closer to the middle of the ship.
