Creator's Key Takeaways

I have lived on three cruise ships so far I've lived on princesses Sky princess for 21 days and then I lived on MSC maravilia for 14 days and then I lived on Enchantment of the Seas which I'm on right now for the last 21 days

all the new and interesting people you get to meet every Cruise there's a new cast of characters that you get to hang out with

all the relationships you make on a cruise ship for the most part are temporary you only keep in touch with a few people most people just become memories

you have to get dressed up to go to the main dining room on most nights I hate it I wish I could wear whatever I wanted
