Creator's Key Takeaways

I've taken more than 50 cruises now and I use my YouTube channel to share all of my cruise experiences

If you're flexible on what port you're willing to cruise from, you might save some money

I often cruise solo, and I often pay up to two people's worth of cruise fair to get on board

Repositioning cruises are a great way to save a lot of money on a cruise

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Be flexible with cruise dates, ports, and cruise lines
✓Book during off-peak seasons or where most cabins are available
✓Consider booking a perks-included fare instead of adding extras individually
✓Book through a travel agent for better rates and support
✓Look at older ships for similar experiences at lower prices
✓Drop a cabin category or bid for upgrades to save money
