TLDR: I somehow convinced my entire family—eight of us—to go on a cruise together for the first time. What started as a fun idea quickly turned into a hilarious mix of planning spreadsheets, shoe rack debates, and clashing travel personalities. We haven’t even boarded the ship yet and the group chat is already spicy. But despite the chaos, I’m genuinely excited to make new memories with my family. Bon voyage, baby—let the cruise and comedy begin.
