Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Travel With Chu And Mark.

  1. If booking a cruise, opt for more than two nights to truly experience the ship.

  2. If visiting London, see Kinky Boots or The Greatest Showman as they are outstanding shows.

  3. If going to the theater, aim for seats more in line with the stage rather than the front row to avoid looking up too much.

  4. If a show is full, try the later time slot (e.g., 10:00 PM) as the earlier one might be brimming out the door.

  5. If you upgrade to a suite, check if laundry is complimentary.

  6. The deluxe drinks package is worth it if you consume more than a few drinks a day to avoid feeling restricted by limits.

  7. Set an alarm for 10:13 PM to book 710 Club tickets on the app as soon as they release at 10:15 PM.

  8. Avoid pre-mixed cocktails as they may be weak.
