🥈Expert Creatorthiscruiselife description on YouTube:
Hey cruisers! It's Mark and Rocky sharing our cruise adventures with you! From cruise ship walkthroughs and cruise ship reviews, to port and excursion overviews - we're taking you into this cruise life by providing you with videos, pictures, and background on our favorite hobby: cruising! The idea for thiscruiselife was born during the pandemic when cruising came to a halt around the globe. Talking about #thiscruiselife allowed us to support the cruise industry during the shut down, while providing an outlet to celebrate all of the things that make this form of vacation travel the best out there! Whether you're a first-time cruiser, or seasoned on the seas, there's likely something for you here on the channel. And as we grow, we'd love your questions, comments, and, of course, feedback, to make us even better. You can find us on all socials and at thiscruiselife.com. You might say we're kind of passionate about this cruising hobby (obsession?) and we love sharing it with you!
