Creator's Key Takeaways
I just got off my first ever Carnival Cruise. And as someone who has only ever sailed Disney Cruise Line in Royal Caribbean, I was pretty nervous stepping on board.
On the outside, this ship is a rust bucket. I mean, it's obviously not the worst ship I've ever seen, but compared to obviously the Disney ships, which I am so used to seeing where they are constantly putting fresh coats of paint on their ship, you know, it was it was a little jarring.
I was very surprised at the level of entertainment that I saw on the Carnival Conquest. Me being impressed has a lot to do with my expectations being 6 feet under.
Robbie, oh my gosh, he was incredible. He was everywhere. Literally almost every event that we went to, Robbie was there.
