Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm doing well Doug thanks for having me on

It was a surreal feeling to stand there on the ship and have seen this thing that's been you know described to us and and seen it in pictures and whatnot but actually be able to physically touch you know the wall

The Empire Supper Club... was probably our favorite dining experience of the trip

I think for me I've never gone on a cruise with so many of my friends and so getting to be on vacation for seven days with all of them was so much fun
