My Atlantis cruise hot take: it looks fun. People should hang out together and have fun if they want to. Dancing is nice, fucking is nice. It's nice to be warm in the winter. I'm not a cruise enjoyer, but bon voyage to those who do. Take care of yourself and others, and try not to catch norovirus. 🛟
