Creator's Key Takeaways

I always try to start a group as soon as I book a cruise. even if there's other groups out there, do it because the only reason I do it is because I travel solo and um it gives me a chance to meet everybody

I always check the background of the people that join the group. So I'll click on their profile and I'll make sure that they've been around for a little bit. they have friends, they have stuff on their page

I'm a solo traveler. So, not that I can't take care of myself because I can, but there's people that will get a message from somebody in the group and they'll text me and they'll say, So and so is bugging me

✓Use the featured section to organize important information so it doesn't get lost in the feed
