Creator's Key Takeaways

hey sailors welcome back to kulusuk as crew I'm Lucy and today I'm gonna be talking you through the first day on a cruise ship

so joining the cruise ship is really really scary exciting but scary

you will not be getting on that ship unless you have your medical and at that it has to be the original documents

so just expect the worst hope for the best

Creator's Tips & Advice
