Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm gonna start with something that I honestly still don't quite understand despite sailing on dozens of ships and that is how these ships even float at all

where else do you see grilled sea bass veggie spring rolls and Chicken and Waffles all on the same menu

imagine that I told you that you're taking a one-week vacation the Grand Turk that Dominican Republic in San Juan your transportation it's included so is your room and then the food and the entertainment

the talking about the hot tubs to me there's just something I cannot get over about sitting in a Whirlpool with a dozen total strangers

YouTube Video Description

Cruising, for all the fun it is, also has some weird aspects. In fact, even if you love cruises like I do, there are some things that you have to admit are pretty weird when you think about it. Some are good... some are bad... some are just plain out there. Where else would you pay a healthy amount for a tiny room with no windows? Or dine in a restaurant serving lobster AND chicken and waffles? Or where can you zipline, ride a waterslide, and gamble... with only a 2-minute walk between them? I dive into some of the aspects of cruising that are pretty weird that you may have never thought about. #cruise #travel
