Creator's Key Takeaways

we got an email yesterday that uh we've been invited on a simulated voyage it's a test cruise as many people call it onboard mariner of the seas

i've talked about why i think that's a fine idea it's an inconvenience i get it but uh you know i just i think it's perfectly reasonable

we are leaving on that cruise on the 20th so that actually relates to all of this testing

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't wait until the last minute to get a COVID test, especially in high-infection areas.
Get creative with testing locations, such as looking near the embarkation port.
