Creator's Key Takeaways

we're going on the amazing brand new Carnival celebration we're going to take you all around the ship try all of the food show you around our cabin

the food is fantastic the crew have been fantastic as well we've noticed that there's a lot more of them on the ship as well compared to Mardi Gras

this is the most real feeling because a couple literally just still over 24 hours ago we would just start having breakfast I think I'm gonna have a lazy Sunday and we thought you know we're just gonna book it why not

we paid for all of this cruise by ourselves and all of the food and everything as well forty dollars for that meal which isn't bad so twenty dollars each and we had a lot of food so very impressive
