Creator's Key Takeaways

we went on our first cruise about 20 years ago give or take a year and um we actually had a blast

you can go anywhere and just you don't have to have a drink package in order to walk up anywhere and say Hey I want a bottle of water

it surprises me now so not only are you paying a gratuita for the room that you are staying in and mind you this gratuita with Royal Caribbean it is $18 per person per day
