Creator's Key Takeaways

We are doing a show about Actually, we're not doing a show about anything. So really there is no intro. This is the show about nothing.

We are still trying to get to Bermuda. Our recent one just came out Friday. We were kind of halfway to Bermuda and I was just getting over my seasickness after turning green the day before.

I think Princess is a good starting point for somebody that age to try a cruise.

We're really finding out that we just love those smaller ships, even those smaller ships that have been around 20, 30 years and been refurbished.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stay near the Houston airport area for more affordable hotels when cruising from Galveston.
Use shuttle services instead of rental cars for cost savings and to avoid traffic and construction.
Give yourself extra time for traffic when traveling to Galveston.
Check the Facebook page for a special hotel rate code for the group cruise.
Consider Princess as a good starting cruise line for first-time cruisers.
