Creator's Key Takeaways

I've also been on around 40 cruise ships, so I've got a reasonable frame of reference for this comparison.

I was actually quite impressed by the food and the whole thing was pretty crucial best.

I know which line ticks that box.

If anything, cruise lines should be arguing over who gets to call themselves buttons at sea.
