Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm from the cruise ship. If the cruise wants their towels, they can get them themselves.
Ship life is community life. The closer you get to thinking of the ship as your home, the more fun you have.
Wait for the disembarkation announcement. Grab a coffee. Sit by a window. Watch the port come into view.
Read the signs, trust the guides. The penguins are magical enough from where you're supposed to stand, I promise.
