🏅AuthorityCruiseTipsTV

I'm praying for everyone in the path of this terrible terrible hurricane and I I'd be surprised if I make it to mine because we don't even know if Sun princess is making it back into the to Fort Lauderdale yet

🏅AuthorityCruiseTipsTV

number seven mistake that people make especially now in 2021... they're not doing the muster drill as soon as you get on the ship

🏅AuthorityCruiseTipsTV

Underestimating pre-cruise hotel demand and pricing, especially in Seattle this year, is key.

🏅AuthorityCruiseTipsTV

it is gone are the days when you walk up and you flash your boarding pass on the app and that's all you need to board a ship

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for CruiseTipsTV.

  1. Book your pre-cruise hotel in Seattle early for 2026 due to high demand and World Cup events.

  2. Fly in the day before embarkation to avoid crowds and delays.

  3. Choose a cruise line that focuses on Alaska's outdoor experiences rather than just the ship.

  4. Book excursions early, especially bucket list ones, and research independent tour operators for better value.

  5. Pack layers with a waterproof outer layer, water-resistant footwear, and moisture-wicking socks.

  6. Bring binoculars, a day bag, and consider travel insurance for unpredictable weather and costs.

  7. Take advantage of the USB charging nook above the bed for overnight device charging.

  8. Monitor cruise prices regularly on multiple sites
