Creator's Key Takeaways
Thought what better place to launch my channel than on a cruise.
So, the Independent Cruiser, it is geared to people who love to cruise, but maybe you want to do your own thing when you're in port.
Kind of a do-it-yourself excursions. So, that's what we're going to focus on here primarily.
