Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm just so sick of being so excited about our upcoming cruise, telling a friend how excited I am, and them saying, "Oh, I could never cruise because because of blah and blah blah blah blah and blah blah and yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada."

The fact of the matter is ships now are huge. They got these stabilizers going on that keeps it from swaying back and forth.

It's a mall. It's a mall with an amusement park with with a hotel with a million restaurants. It's huge. It's massive.
