Creator's Key Takeaways
Cruise ships have their own language. So, if you don't know all the lingo, you're going to miss out on all the fun.
Number ten. It's a fun one. Cruise duck. If you haven't seen these, look for them. People hide them around the boat.
Number twelve, on board credit. This just extra money that's on your account. Um so you can use this for anything on board the ship.
Really pretty, especially at sunset.
