Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm not sponsored. I don't get paid. He does pay me in rum cakes sometimes.

I don't do cruise line sponsorships. I don't do them. Because I'm not going to be muzzled.

You will get the real truth in two weeks and I would love to do a live from there.

I still love to cruise. I always love to cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use stretchy chair bands to keep your towel in place without bulky clips.
Check out Virgin Voyages deals for status matching and included amenities.
For crowded Nassau days, go to a resort for a day place instead of Junkanoo Beach.
If you book direct with a cruise line, comment 'takeover' to have a travel agent take it over for onboard credit.
