Creator's Key Takeaways
I literally booked it 48 hours before sailing, which is the cut off that you can book a cruise.
It was 2.7 miles. You know, you got to go around cars. There's no paved sidewalk the whole way.
It is doable. I don't recommend it, especially when you have a lot of luggage.
I'm on the ship, interior room. I don't care. I'm not home in the snow.
