Creator's Key Takeaways

I love cruising but I have to admit I have been cruising for about 20 years and there are some things right now for a bunch of different circumstances that I'm kind of on a personal level not enjoying as much

I absolutely love it when we can do family cruises even still with my older son Julian as well and we've done multigenerational cruises
