Creator's Key Takeaways

I don't really know if there's a negative to a group cruise because you can always kind of pull yourself away from the group if you wanted to.

I think that could be overwhelming. I think the size of the group you're getting into.

It definitely can if you go with the right the right group, the right group of people, um the right itinerary.

I'm definitely looking for a group cruise. That's an absolute I want to find a group cruise to do that if I can.
