Creator's Key Takeaways

Doing these things now will save so much stress and pressure as you get closer to your cruise.

If you're not insured and something goes wrong, things can get pretty nasty pretty quickly.

The closer to the date you get, the more expensive the flight becomes.

I had a great situation in Barcelona a few weeks ago where I had booked a two-star hotel and one week before the cruise, a four-star hotel with a rooftop swimming pool became available for a cheaper price.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Research and buy cruise insurance as soon as you book.
Book pre-cruise flights, travel arrangements, or hotels close to the port early.
Download the cruise line app immediately after booking.
Book high-demand excursions as early as possible.
Research the ship you'll be traveling on.
Join a Facebook group specific to your cruise.
