Creator's Key Takeaways

I think I just need to develop a sense of humor because honestly that took an hour and a half to get off the ship

unfortunately a lot of this today has just felt grossly disorganized there was a lot of flapping on the ship to be honest the whole process just fell out of control

I've never been on a cruise ship where they can't get people off

the line to get back onto MSC Meraviglia look at the length of this it was absolutely ridiculous

Creator's Tips & Advice
