Creator's Key Takeaways
I've never met harder working cruise directors than I have on Carnival Cruise Line.
I ended up waiting a little over 45 minutes once for dinner during freestyle cruising on Norwegian and that was a big turnoff to me.
The best production shows I've ever seen have happened on Norwegian ships.
Carnival ships, they they more so shout, 'Woo!' Whereas Norwegian ships politely say, 'Welcome aboard.'
