Creator's Key Takeaways

i did test two days before coming on the ship on wednesday i got a negative result um and i boarded the cruise ship on friday around 4 00 p.m

i am traveling by myself um so i was very fortunate that they then let me come up to my cabin

they did allow me to go back to the room um and pack up my belongings and then bring it down here to deck 2 which is the quarantine deck

i feel well supported going through this process um on monday i'm going to disembark at a different time than everybody else
