Creator's Key Takeaways

I was 40some when I did my first cruise. So, I did my first cruise only back in 2004.

Running a group cruise is actually extremely uh tiring and can be a little bit stressful um just in terms of you want to make sure that everyone's having a great time.

The Meong is an incredible incredible experience.

I would much rather look that's why I'm really intrigued as I was mentioning to see how they've revamped and improved Queen Elizabeth.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions the minute they come on, even if you're not 100% sure, because most of them have pretty good cancellation.
If there's a train tour in a port, always look for it and do it.
For Alaska, do one of the one-way trips to minimize sea days and maximize time in Alaska.
