Creator's Key Takeaways

i was so excited i just finished my first contract and i was so excited to be asked to come back so quickly

mid-march the shutdown happens and i'll never forget the first two weeks they treated us so well

we had our own private island that we would uh go to so the ship would drop us off at 9 00 a.m we'd all get off and it would be crew all aboard back at 5 15

i get a text hey emergency meeting at the theater be there right now and so we go and our cruise director comes out and he says guys i don't know if you've heard but donald trump has just announced that any crew from a ship cannot fly anywhere in the united states
