YouTube Video Description

Could you live and work on a cruise ship? As much as I love to cruise, there's no way I could do it. I'm always curious, though, about folks who live this life, so it was fun to recently interview cruise ship magician and comedian Brandon Baggett on Carnival Mardi Gras to get all the inside scoop on what's it's REALLY like to live life at sea. ----------------------------------------------- PODCAST Want this video in audio form?
