Laurie and Gary Cruise description on YouTube:

Cruising through life with my loving husband Gary! Gary and I went on our 1st cruise together in 2014. At the time I had been on only one previous cruise vacation with family and Gary had worked as a cruise ship entertainer but had never traveled as a passenger. We immediately caught the cruise travel bug. This channel started as just a way for us to document and remember our vacations but the more we posted and saw all the questions various people had about cruising the more we wanted to create content to help answer these questions and show you how much fun cruising can be. Follow us on our journey!

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Laurie and Gary Cruise.

  1. Get to the main dining room early for formal night to avoid crowds, though it wasn't too bad this time.

  2. If you arrive at the port early, chances are they will let you board the ship even if you didn't get an early check-in time.

  3. Do not stay at the Motto by Hilton in Philadelphia for more than one day due to extremely small room size.

  4. Consider the Free at Sea Plus package if you use Wi-Fi, Starbucks, and excursions, as it provides better value than purchasing separately.

  5. Order two lox on the bagel if you're hungry, as it's only one per order.

  6. Use immune booster electrolytes before a travel day.

  7. Check out the La Lido Loca group cruise for a great group experience.

  8. If you do not have mobility issues, choose a walking tour or explore the port area.
