Creator's Key Takeaways

the first thing you want to do when you get on the ship is say hello to the happenings cast

use the restroom so whether you're going to your room to just drop your stuff so you can go grab something to eat grab something to drink

I always recommend doing it from your TV so that you can have your phone for other things and sometimes the Wi-Fi can be slow

check your wallet you do that by going into the app under your profile checking your wallet
