Creator's Key Takeaways

I've sailed on about 23 cruises now which is not that many in comparison to a lot of people but I love them and I'll be doing more of them

that first experience of being at sea that very next day after you leave port I'll never forget that even though I was only 11

I forgot all my fears they too saw us on the bow of the ship and that was the most magical experience of all

Alaska's an incredible part of the world one of my favorite cruises ever was my Alaska cruise
