Creator's Key Takeaways

we are actually doing cruise video today we've kind taking up we kind of took a break I guess cuz cuz the holidays and stuff

the number one thing that we do is we book cruises in advance yellow I think at least a year or more in advance

we have the carnival credit card and we linked that card to our sail ensign card we charged everything on the card

we got double the points on a Carnival cruise yeah and you can use that to redeem for gift cards later or you can even pay for a cruise
