Creator's Key Takeaways

i was invited by celebrity and uh so yeah i've made a bunch of cruises around this time so i could get down here

celebrity is paying for this two-day cruise of mine and they're paying for all the travel agents that they're bringing on board

i'm so happy for them all they have been off work for 18 months now some of them were able to get other jobs

30 days of cruising just wasn't enough and i thought spending three full weeks at home might be just too much

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider driving to the cruise port if the border opens, but check testing requirements.
Plan for back-to-back cruises to maximize travel time.
