Creator's Key Takeaways

We wish there was more 80s stuff on the 80s cruise. Definitely not the 80s entertainment we thought there was going to be.

They didn't make the decision to change these computer systems. The decisions were made above them.

Please, please be kind. Good morning.

We're enjoying the cruise. We had a lovely afternoon nap.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be respectful and kind to front-of-house staff as they are learning new systems.
Keep in mind that this is the first cruise after the ship's rebranding to Carnival, so some challenges are expected.
