Creator's Key Takeaways

Well, it's been a long 17 months, 510 days, but we're finally on our way to get back on a cruise ship.

We're actually a little nervous because it's it's a nervous excitement because it's just been such a long time and we're really looking forward to

This is just the fifth cruise out North America since the pandemic and we've had a great time.

Staff's been amazing, food's been amazing and we're just so happy to be back on a cruise ship and we can't wait to do it again.
