Creator's Key Takeaways
So, so far with the mustard drill, one difference is that here in Carnival, it's a self muster drill.
Process took less than 5 minutes. Whereas in DCL, they make you stand with everybody. They make a big show and takes about half an hour to an hour.
So, if you're into al pastor tacos, this is a dish I highly recommend.
I absolutely loved it. The kids were dancing. Everybody was dancing, going crazy at the lobby. So I definitely recommend it.
