Creator's Key Takeaways

we recently took our very first cruise and we made a few mistakes

what if your flight's delay you don't want to miss your cruise altogether

I think I ordered about 48 of them 48 L of water there was no way that we could go through all of that

it is a marathon not a Sprint
