Creator's Key Takeaways
But because Tauck puts a lot less people on board, as many as 60 less people on board, it really changes the flexibility of things, which is a real highlight for a lot of people
So, not only are they feeding you well on the ship but off the ship as well. But I will show you a couple of scenes now of what we enjoyed on the ship throughout the week.
If you want flexible dining, and people ask me about this all the time, you pretty much are going to have to go with Tauck if you don't want to be set to having to eat with, you know, 160 or 190 people at once.
