Creator's Key Takeaways

We just sit here. Sometimes we're at sea, but we tend to just, partly because of privacy and partly because of just the way that you and I are, you know, we prefer to to discuss and analyze in the in the comfort of a, a seated position.

I get a huge amount of pleasure. It's what I do to relax and to wind down. You know, it's so different from to my day job, so I just chill and I watch people going on vacation.

The fact that the cruise line and the cruise ship allows you to do it whichever way you want, and there's no rules, and if you don't want to join in, you don't have to. If you just want to watch, you can watch.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Use a larger TV to better experience cruise vlogs.
โœ“Book cruises yourself online, put a temporary hold, then call the cruise line to negotiate a better deal or onboard credit.
