Creator's Key Takeaways

I just don't want you going on a cruise ship thinking you're going on a cruise vacation if you're going to work on a cruise ship you are going to work you're going to work really goddamn hard

on the flip side of working really goddamn hard you are going to go to some amazing places you are going to meet some incredible people and make the best friends of your life

I really do think that it depends what job you're going for so how old do I actually think is too old I'm gonna say 60
