Creator's Key Takeaways

It's Monday, the 24th of March, and we're going on a cruise today. Well, I hope we are.

I ended up spending most of yesterday afternoon in hospital and suddenly got diagnosed with cellulitis.

We've had to resort our car parking, but that's been done this morning.

She's looking very scruffy. I guess that's cuz she's going in for reef at the end of this cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book car parking in advance and have confirmation details handy.
βœ“Request bed configuration early to maximize cabin space.
