Creator's Key Takeaways

I was very very fortunate that that did come about. Um gosh, over a year ago, I had done a road trip to Florida and coming back through.

We were able to achieve the highest customer service uh customer satisfaction survey scores in the ship's history.

I I was so impressed with that whole little harbor cruise because I I didn't even realize the Liberty ships had been built there.

I I I put the Normandy in here just uh because I wanted to point out that uh France was built for the same line that operated the Normandy.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Play up the ship's nostalgic and historic nature rather than trying to hide it.
Think of the ship as a quaint old bed and breakfast with quirks and character, not flaws.
Go see the ship in person and talk to the docents and other people that are there.
