Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Cruising Chris M.

  1. For long-haul flights, get an aisle seat rather than a window seat so you can walk around and move.

  2. When booking solo, look for cabins near the solo lounge for 24/7 coffee access.

  3. Go to Bard and Banker in Victoria, Canada, ask for Devon the manager, and mention the Coach Cruise Crew to get a buy one, get one free shaft shot.

  4. If you are traveling solo and want to add a person to your booking, check with specific agents or contacts who have helped in similar situations before calling the cruise line directly.

  5. Keep medications in their original prescription bottles to avoid issues with security or medical staff.

  6. Talk to your room steward directly for faster service on maintenance or special requests rather than calling guest services.

  7. Verify passport validity; most countries require at least six months of validity remaining upon return.

  8. Fly into Fort Lauderdale instead of Miami; it's cheaper and less frustrating.
