Tips For Travellers description on YouTube:

If you want to get cruising right, my Tips For Travellers makes it fun and easy to discover, plan and enjoy an incredible cruise vacation every time. There are so many choices that have to be made at every stage of your cruise vacation. If you make the wrong choices, like I have done in the past, you and your family won't have that incredible experience you are dreaming of. I learnt that enjoyable and memorable cruise vacations don't happen by chance. They are made and crafted through being well-informed, and then making intelligent choices at every single stage. That's why, I set up Tips For Travellers to help travellers who want to get cruising right, the advice, tips and tricks to make it easier to plan and have a memorable experience every time. All my tips draw on everything that I have learnt on the 95 cruises I have done to date. If you want to get cruising right, subscribe and start making it easier to have those incredible cruise experiences you dream of right now.

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Tips For Travellers.

  1. Use an odd number for your bid to potentially sway the decision.

  2. Check the cost of a direct upgrade through a travel agent or cruise line before bidding.

  3. Target the middle to upper-middle of the suggested bid range for the best chance of success.

  4. Book Antarctica on ships with 200 passengers or fewer to access more landing sites.

  5. Book cruises far in advance to secure better pricing and specific cabin locations.

  6. When doing side-by-side cruises (different lines), allow a buffer for travel between terminals.

  7. For Princess Grill, try to board early and use the restaurant for afternoon tea to avoid the crowds.

  8. Avoid river cruises if you prefer ocean cruising due to limited facilities and repetitive itineraries.
