Creator's Key Takeaways

We are still here in Arizona. We are still in Arizona. We're just at our friend's house which you have probably seen if you've tuned in to our live streams before.

We're going to be boarding the Carnival Vista. So stay tuned for the time of that.

We've said for years that we've needed to get back on Royal. So, we did not have a good experience on our first Royal Caribbean ship on Harmony of the Seas.

I am excited to give her another chance because my first exposure to her was it was not it was not your typical Carnival experience.
