Creator's Key Takeaways

I was on the Queen Mary - the one time and there was a bunch of people who were not having a great time because they much preferred carnival they wanted a much more informal they don't want to dress up they wanted more party atmosphere

you could find that you're spending two thirds of your time actually at sea and only 1/3 at a time or less in ports

the smaller silver sea Seabourn ships were docked right in Saigon right very close within walking distance of the city where all the bigger ships were about an hour and a half away from the city

I've actually come back fitter and actually lighter than when I boarded the ship
