Creator's Key Takeaways

the overall objective is to get the relaxation in the foreign commonwealth and development office advice that currently says there's an advisor against people going on cruise ships uk nationals growing cruise ships

we've had safety nets there to to catch problems that came up they worked the way they were supposed to work and that's actually quite gratifying to see

we found them we tracked them down uh we gave them private transportation back to the dock where they found their bags waiting for them on the dock and they were invited to not come back on our ship again

we're going to be not just back we're going to be back better than ever and and a more uh longer term uh sustainable business
