Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival Corporation set a all-time record. You and I set an all-time record for customer deposits. People raising their hands saying I want to cruise and here is my money.

They're going to sell the same cabins to someone else because someone else wants to buy the cabins. They're going to build more ships.

Santorini canceled all cruise ships for a day because there was a strike up with the bus drivers. And logistically, without the bus drivers and transportation, they couldn't move the cruise passengers around.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If visiting Nassau, consider Edge Beach at Atlantis for a more tranquil experience rather than staying in the crowded downtown area.
βœ“Avoid renting jet skis in the port area of Nassau.
