Creator's Key Takeaways
You are about to spend $10,000 on a mega cruise because it feels safe.
The reality, you're sharing that ship with four, five, 7,000 other people.
When you pay 10 grand to a cruise line, a huge percentage of your money goes towards funding a casino, a massive theater, water slides, and a nightclub.
On a curated land tour, you own your time.
