Creator's Key Takeaways

the Queen Mary 2 is the last remaining ocean liner and you know a lot of people don't really know the difference of between an ocean liner and a typical cruise ship

I paid less for this 7-Day Cruise than I did for my previous 7-Day Cruise which was probably on the getaway

the ship itself is such a work of art uh there is just there are beautiful murals and there's the art Galler there was this amazing piece of art that was one of the coolest things I've ever seen

it's the perfect trip for people who are looking to relax you know what you're supposed to do on vacation disconnect a little bit and really really really relax and enjoy sort of an oldw World Experience
