Creator's Key Takeaways
I was actually surprised when we asked recently of Life Well Cruised Facebook community members, what are some of the things that have changed for the better.
Now, of course, now I think almost every single cruise line has gotten rid of that old muster drill and instead now we have a safety check-in.
Virgin Voyages actually has created a product that you have these things included, which is pretty cool.
I think that this is my absolute favorite thing, and I wish all cruise lines would offer it.
