Apple Podcasts5bequita15United Statesa year ago - Everything I Didn’t Know That I Needed To Know!
This show is AMAZING! I had no idea what a small ship cruise was. I never really had any interest in being on a huge ship in the middle of the ocean with thousands of people and rogue waves. But now I know that there are so many alternatives with beautiful views, great food, A LOT less people, and close to shore. I’m sold! I can’t wait to try some out!
