Creator's Key Takeaways

I was incredibly fortunate to being asked to go on this press trip as the crews completely surpassed my expectations

every single stateroom has a veranda or sort of balcony area so everyone on the ship has a view of the sea from their veranda

there are no children running around the decks and that made for a really chilled experience

I highly recommend the company and I can't wait to go on another cruise with them
