Creator's Key Takeaways

I spend a lot of time by myself so as you guys know I work in the shops we get a lot of time off because the shops can't be open when the ship is in Port which means I get most Port days off and I just work in the evening

I would say Majorca was my favorite we only went there a few times but when we did go there I made the most of it because it was it was just wonderful

I really wouldn't worry about severe burnout unless you're gonna be on board for a year which I would not recommend

I'm still thoroughly enjoying it and I think it's going to be really really difficult to leave

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a magnet from every port you visit to remember where you've been
Take a week or two to decompress after a contract before seeing friends and family
