Creator's Key Takeaways

I've seen people with every minute scheduled who get stressed when things don't go according to plan.

People book non-refundable deposits to save money and then they get upset when life happens and they can't get their money back.

A cheap cruise that doesn't fit your style is not a good bargain.

I always have dramin just in case.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Highlight a few must-do activities each day and leave room for spontaneity.
✓Pay extra for a refundable deposit if you need flexibility.
✓Pack at least one complete change of clothes and essential medications in a carry-on.
✓Research ship amenities and reviews to match the cruise line's vibe to your preferences.
✓Avoid cabins directly below the pool deck or near nightclubs.
✓Check your cruise ticket contract for documentation requirements.
