Laurie and Gary Cruise description on YouTube:

Cruising through life with my loving husband Gary! Gary and I went on our 1st cruise together in 2014. At the time I had been on only one previous cruise vacation with family and Gary had worked as a cruise ship entertainer but had never traveled as a passenger. We immediately caught the cruise travel bug. This channel started as just a way for us to document and remember our vacations but the more we posted and saw all the questions various people had about cruising the more we wanted to create content to help answer these questions and show you how much fun cruising can be. Follow us on our journey!
