Creator's Key Takeaways

The captain comes on and said, 'Uh, we just had an emergency. We have to kind of turn back inland and meet with the Coast Guard.'

Royal Caribbean knows how to act when something happens, which kudos to Royal Caribbean. They had to save two men.

We had our phones both go off simultaneous simultaneously that we were having tornado warnings. We had no clue.
