Creator's Key Takeaways

We just wanted to spend as little as possible moving forward for the next 15 years. So we spend that in ports and excursions and experiences

We're super happy with our choice and we locked in our maintenance fees for you know, the 15 the life of the ship.

Full disclosure, we do not work for Villa Via Residences. No, no, we do not.

Creator's Tips & Advice
