Creator's Key Takeaways

i think that's a very common thing in the cruise industry it's either you come and you leave really fast or you come and you stay forever

the industry is ridiculously resilient and it's always innovating

i'm a natural optimist you know so so i think i think i can always look at the positives that have come out of it
