Creator's Key Takeaways
I just had this um glass of Veuve Clicquot poured for me, uh you know, which is the champagne that they serve on board.
The point is of this video, it is not basic drinks on board. They have some nice brands that you're going to know.
I've been on cruises where they charge $35 a glass for that. That's included.
