Creator's Key Takeaways

The food on that cruise on our Alaska trip was out of this world. Everything was great.

Royal Caribbean was much worse and it had no finesse and um I don't know. I just found it miserable

If indeed they succeed in convincing people that the the ship can't be reefed for toxicity or whatever reasons, then they'll just scrap her right there at Mobile.

She's ready, baby. She's there. And if she doesn't find a home in December, they're going to move her back to the reserve fleet in Virginia where she will immediately begin to rot.
