Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm Melissa, a university professor who loves to cruise and who loves to talk ship.
I personally think Carnival handled this about as well as they could given the bizarre circumstances of this case.
Please cruisers, knock this crap off. Don't be doing this.
I personally don't love them. I think they're kind of boring, but I know a lot of people, including my twin daughter, she does love them.
