Creator's Key Takeaways

the number one pro I would say as a traveler um is that you get to unpack your stuff and and it stays unpacked for the entire duration of whatever length of cruise that you're going on

the variety of destinations that you get to see um you know so you think about if you were just planning a vacation we've all done that and you only have say a set amount of time say it's 2 weeks you how many places are you going to really be able to go see in that two we period of time

the free food you just go up and you eat now it just makes it too too easy yeah too easy you gain weight on cruises

the other con would be when you get into that really cool Port that you want to really see and it meets your expectations but you've only got maybe 4 hours
