Creator's Key Takeaways

I was on this cruise in particular I might have mentioned at the back before I had a friend of mine with me who used to live in Canada with me very very close friend she now lives in Fort Lauderdale she found out I was going to be in Fort Lauderdale on the cruise and lo and behold she can get away for three days so she booked the cabin on the cruise as well

we get a text message on the phone saying we can now board what the hell well I mean seriously they didn't realize that before they sent the bus

the cruise lines all know every cruise line out there know whenever they head to a new country that's gonna they're gonna start doing a new sailing from that destination for a few months they know they gotta go through an extra long process so why are they telling people right up until the day of the cruise oh yeah start arriving around 10 o'clock because they know that's impossible

the best thing is you just laugh it off you still enjoy your cruise and don't let it get you to two down

I Was Turned Away at the Cruise Port. That's right on the way to board the Sky Princess first cruise out of Fort Lauderdale they said go away and come back that evening. That was start of what seemed like mass confusion as they tried to get us onto the shuttle service to the mall. #cruiseshipnews #cruisingwithdon #donsfamilyvacations #cruiseshipvlog Check out Our other Channel here and maybe subscribe for some laughs. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDMt8tWzdT5h41vEaBPOmiA For those of you who are wondering, yes I am a Travel Agent and I work with anyone in Canada and the United States :) Need to contact me with questions or to book a cruise?
