Creator's Key Takeaways

So these nachos are just as good as I remember it. The chunks of tuna you have them on on them are enormous and it is the sauce is delicious.

The shower is really nice, but it's got so many controls. It's very confusing.

Dinner was absolutely delicious. There is a sound in the background. We're on hold to maintenance cuz our air con is on full blast cold the whole time.

It's been a lovely evening. Good start to the day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check your dining reservations on the app even if you have the ultimate dining package, as some may not show up.
If napping on embarkation day, avoid doing so just before the emergency beacon test, as it is very loud.
