Creator's Key Takeaways

We are going adventure carded again. Yes, a buggy adventure with a beach break.

It's really funny. They said that everything would be really muddy. It's not. It's dusty.

This isn't good, guys. Keep having to stop.

We got yelled at. This whole thing popped off. Uh, it's already stalled.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Provide feedback to the cruise line about tour operator issues.
Consider getting a mask for dusty tours, even if you've done it before.
