Creator's Key Takeaways

we're very excited Ryder just just picked him up from school it is 2:20 and we got here literally

dinner was great service was great honey what do you think dinner was fabulous service was very good

it's going to be a very chill relaxing I think that's one of the benefits of being on a smaller older ship

we didn't go to any shows we gambled a little bit um there was ice skating

Creator's Tips & Advice

Always turn in found items to lost and found, unless it's money.
If you're on a smaller, older ship, embrace a more relaxed pace instead of feeling pressured to do everything.
