Creator's Key Takeaways

we were able to walk from the Sheridan which was a pretty good choice um because we just had carry-on bags and and backpacks and then we were able to bypass all the lines to get onto the ship

we were very fortunate that uh we were able to make it to all of our all of our ports all of our ports cuz um a lot of ships didn't so we had a very good captain on board
