Creator's Key Takeaways

I now know that I have a job where I can inspire other people to believe in their dreams, whatever that may be, to inspire other um kids especially to keep going and what is what it is they want to do and instill that same inspiration that I had when I saw my first show in the theater.

It is about a 3 and 1/2 year process. Uh it takes a long time to develop these shows to make sure that they're right for our guests on board and to make sure that we have every element um correct and fleshed out.

The difference is that you are on a moving vessel, right? Um you have a lot of different elements that happen on a moving ship than just something that's doesn't move, right?

We want to make sure we have something for everyone of all ages and multigenerational families have been sailing with us forever.
