Creator's Key Takeaways
I absolutely never thought I would go on a cruise. I thought I would hate every second of it. I was wrong. She was right.
The hype is real with Buc-ee's. Um I'm we're from the Northeast. We've always lived in the Northeast. Uh so for us it was awesome.
We did the excursion where it's a cave swim, tubing, and then the Veracruz visit. It was great. Uh, the the trip was great. Our tour guides were absolutely amazing.
