Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on a total of 10 cruises and I actually introduced Tom to cruising

the first thing that they did when they hit that sandbar was they opened all the bars on the boat and started serving free drinks

the new 2021 Marty gr is 181,000 tons making it six times heavier than the orig origin ship
