Creator's Key Takeaways

We just got off of cruise number, well, really cruise two, but we're switching ships.

We got off the ship in 5 minutes.

We're still going to have a good time. We're still going to indulge. We're still going to um make everything uh as it should be when we're on a cruise ship, but at the same time um we need to stay fit.

We're excited about it. We've heard a lot about it already from employees on the other ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Walk to your hotel from Southampton cruise port if you have time and luggage.
Take the stairs instead of the elevator to stay active on the ship.
Plan to arrive a day early and take the train to Southampton to avoid day-of travel stress.
