Creator's Key Takeaways

I've got 18 cruises under my belt with celebrity so I'm a fan but $1,250 extra per person to be on Silver sea I would pay that in a heartbeat

we were able to come up with a 10day cruise on Silver sea that cost us basically $5,000 a person everything included

when you drop your napkin in the wait in the dining room three people would lean down to pick it up none of which are you

you never have to use your credit card again
