Creator's Key Takeaways
We make no bones about the fact we're not budget travelers.
We are doing experiences that will live with our live with us when we're old and senior next week.
The one next year on Norwegian, I think has cost us about $400 for a week because we had such a big credit to use and it's a new ship.
We had a lemur sitting on my shoulder and which was just awesome, just awesome to see.
