Creator's Key Takeaways

Imagine being on the largest one of the largest ships in the world and no power in the middle of the ocean.

Cruise passengers can go ashore, but the crew members were denied.

I probably wouldn't want my deck chair underneath one of those panes of glass at this current time.

I'm having a wonderful cruise and everyone's having a great time here on the Royal Princess.
