Creator's Key Takeaways

This has been one of the most amazing cruises I've ever been on.

I'm actually looking forward to the possibility of the Drake Shake and the Drake Lake.

It was just enough to shake you up and move some things in the cabin, but it was closer to the Drake Lake than the Drake Shake from what I understand.

I have to say the waves are definitely very mesmerizing and really cool looking.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check weather apps to anticipate wave conditions.
Use slow motion or zoom to better capture wave height in videos.
