Creator's Key Takeaways

my only complaint with msse in embarcation day is the mustard drills I hate how they do mustard drills

this ship was really pretty um it is a beautiful ship it was very strangely laid out

I have no complaints here um as we've mentioned in other videos it is a very European Vibe

Fly in the day before if possible to avoid stress
