Creator's Key Takeaways

It's been 7 days and we are still in this never ending line.

This is the latest I've ever gotten on a cruise ship.

They didn't start boarding until almost 1:00 and that they didn't send out any information about it.

We're all a little annoyed, you know, as you can imagine.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't take out your annoyance on the staff.
Check the app for muster drills instead of watching in the room.
