Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on a total of 10 cruises and I actually introduced Tom to cruising

The first thing that they did when they hit that sandbar was they opened all the bars on the boat and started serving free drinks

Carnival lost over 8 million dollars their first year of operation

The new 2021 Mardi Gras is 181,000 tons making it six times heavier than the original ship

✓Join Facebook groups for your specific cruise date and ship

✓Get your key card and clip it to a lanyard
