Creator's Key Takeaways

we paid a total of $294 that's 146 sish dollars per person yeah for the entirety of our seven night crw

this in particular may have made the whole thing worth it by itself we'll tell you why in a second

I think it was worth it for the internet package and the fact that I got to try chops grill food without paying for chops Grill

getting off the ship basically the second people getting off the ship in Maine was wonderful
