Creator's Key Takeaways
the first thing you can expect is when you get to the port you know where you're gonna take off in your cruise ship
your room will not be ready when you get on the ship at 11:30 or noon or whatever he gets on
the biggest recommendation for the mustard roll is don't get there early know you want to get there
