Jan and Tracey Travels description on YouTube:

During our combined 46 years of service in the US Army, we were fortunate to visit so many places around the world. After after another eight years serving in education, we fully retired and now our full-time occupation is to follow our dream of seeing as much of this beautiful world as we can. The purpose of our channel is not only to share our experiences, but also to provide a resource to those who want to travel the world through cruising. Whether you are traveling to the blue seas of Caribbean, the history of the Mediterranean, or exploring new cultures and peoples in Africa, Asia, and South America, cruising is a great method of travel to get you there. We will not only bring you information about the different cruise ships that may take you to these locations, but also give you an insight into these beautiful and interesting destinations. Thanks for coming to our channel, please continue to travel along with us! Keep on Traveling!

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Jan and Tracey Travels.

  1. Start by studying deck plans on the cruise line's website, focusing on your cabin first.

  2. Use YouTube ship tours while looking at deck plans to orient yourself.

  3. Identify 'superhighways' (main corridors) that run from forward to aft.

  4. Download the cruise line's mobile app before arriving at the port.

  5. Use the house phone location in elevator banks as a reference point for port vs. starboard.

  6. Follow cabin numbers to determine forward vs. aft orientation.

  7. Use the forward elevator and stairwells to access the medical center on deck seven.

  8. Note that some stairwells on deck six do not allow entry to the Marco Polo restaurant.
