Creator's Key Takeaways

I just got off of a cruise today so so I'm knackered because it was insane I just got off of piano um cruises Iona had a really really good time

the entertainment was fantastic um you know long long time ago I mean I've been cruising for 25 years long long time ago you get one show and you then you get a lounge at you know you get a singer um that you know a live band in one of the lounges or a Pianist or a a set of pianist okay just just to be clear um and then you or you'd have a someone on a guitar um but oh my God you had we were on a schedule so they've got the Sky Dome where they had these amazing acrobatical acrobat shows

the staff were amazing because some people didn't want to wait for drinks and they were giving them a hard time and I know I think because I recruit for hardins for the shops on board and I know how challenging it is at the moment for the cruise lines to recruit and I did hear a little rumor that there that the bar Staffing is a little bit down but they still managed to smile they still managed to give you eye contact even though they were extremely busy

I would definitely book another cruise on piano uh UK I'm already looking at uh I brought the brochure home with me so I should be getting in touch with Emma see what cruises I can do quite fancy a little cruise out of Southampton again it's so so easy
