Creator's Key Takeaways

Every single person was just happy to see us. Even if we weren't even stopping with them, we were just driving past them.

I saw this itinerary and quite frankly, it was about uh the very few ports for the length of cruise.

I am a serial inside stateroom uh person uh as you all know if you've uh listened to previous recordings with me.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book longer cruises for better value per night.
Check the Navigator app for cabanas hours on sea days.
Wear good walking shoes for Shanghai Disneyland.
