Creator's Key Takeaways
First time I sailed transatlantic, I was slightly apprehensive. Now that I've lived it, I wouldn't do it any other way unless I absolutely had to.
People said, 'Well, why are you going on a ship that isn't going anywhere?' And we said, 'Well, look, the ship is a destination in itself.'
There's a very good reason why people come back again and again.
