YouTube Video Description

Skip ahead to 5:10 if you want to get right to the COVID portion. This is a discussion from the Life At Sea presentation on Caribbean Princess, where the Cruise Director goes into what life was like living onboard Princess cruise ships during the COVID shutdown. He talks about losing close friends, the dangers of moving crew and ships around the world with limited personnel onboard, and ways that the cruise line tried to keep morale high for the crew. This is not my normal type of video or a vlog, but I found the discussion very interesting and thought it was worth sharing as a stand-alone clip.
