Creator's Key Takeaways
I never went on a luxury cruise before, so on my first one I did something a little weird for me and I skipped the port.
I ended up having a luxury yacht completely to myself. The pools, the spa, the lounges, literally everything.
Luxury's really about having no agenda and enjoying that calm and privacy that's really rare anymore.
So, my first time luxury traveler tip is the real flex is not the excursion, it's having the yacht to yourself.
