Creator's Key Takeaways

Everything is a money grab. Every everything now with a cruise ship is a money grab.

Back then, the only time they had photographers out to take pictures was imbarcation day when you got off the ship to go into a port and formal night.

They gave you the good food in the main dining room. You didn't have to go to the steakhouse to get a good steak.

I'm not a foodie. I really enjoy back when they had all all the all the good steaks, the cuts of steaks in the main dining room.

βœ“Don't worry about how many dollars it takes to maintain platinum or red card status.
