Creator's Key Takeaways
I've been in the cruise business for 40 years that's right I started when I had hair can you believe it and 40 years later I'm still going strong
we booked our first cruise now it's almost 20 years ago I can't believe it where the time has gone but basically when we did book our first cruise we thought it would be an anniversary Cruise um for our 10th anniversary and that it would be one and done and then we ended up finding out that we loved it so much
the very best tip is pay really special attention to the cruise line and the cruise ship that you choose I think having the right match for what you want out of vacation out of a vacation and what you expect is really the most important
I love being on the ocean so um I love other things about it I think it's such a great way to Vacation uh I don't think there's another vacation where you can have the combination of um fun on the cruise ship great food entertainment and also destinations um and only unpacking once
