“realistically, you're going to pay thousands of dollars more for excursions”
“When you sit down, you don't really have a view.”
“The problem is when you're in these front rooms, you know, this is literally facing forward, so you got the kind of captain's view, but the problem is with these rooms, and I've stayed in one before, literally, it's um so windy up here.”
