Creator's Key Takeaways

I however I enjoy a nice sit-down meal now I don't always do it don't always do it because you know the service can be sometimes super super slow

I was on the inaugural sowing of the carnival celebration from Southampton England all the way over to Miami and they won my heart back with how fast I was in and out

I was with my buddy Scott McNeil and we were on was it I think it was the Mardi Gras yeah we were on the Mardi Gras and uh this was back in June this was before the very first ever boats and Bros cruise

I went to butcher's cut on MSC it was a little later but it was the only reservation they had available I was with a group of people it took them over an hour to bring us our drinks we were there for almost three hours and the food came out and wasn't even cooked properly
