Creator's Key Takeaways

John said he's afraid it still is only one bottle of wine even though it is a longer cruise.

John said they do have heat, but sometimes it's not as warm as other people are used to at home.

John said, 'Yes, there has been a delay from the distributor.' And he apologized for this.
