Creator's Key Takeaways

if you're vaccinated you can take your mask off we've heard even that some of the entertainment on board the shows at night are for vaccinated passengers you take your your mask off and for unvaccinated passengers you have to wear your mask

independent operators are much cheaper uh sometimes 20 30 percent their prices are negotiable if you have four people five people going they can usually offer a discount
