Creator's Key Takeaways

We're on our way to board another cruise ship. A holiday.

The weather was absolutely dreadful. But CPS Valley parking got us sorted out very quickly.

The French onion soup was delicious, but I'm feeling a little bit unwell now.

I would give this eight and a half out of 10.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check in at your muster station after watching the video.
Come at least a day ahead of time to avoid traffic stress.
Use the international cafe for quick snacks instead of the buffet.
