Creator's Key Takeaways

There's nothing fun about worrying if your flight's going to be delayed or if the traffic's going to back you up and then you'll be late for the ship.

It's easy to stick with what's familiar. Some of our best cruise memories have come from trying something outside of our comfort zone.

We'll find the dining venues, entertainment areas, the casino, the pool deck, lounges, and any place we might want to visit the rest of the week.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive at your departure city the day before embarkation to avoid travel delays.
Walk the entire ship on embarkation day to familiarize yourself with locations.
Take photos of menus, schedules, and excursion info to preserve memories.
Perform a nightly recap to reflect on the day's experiences.
Challenge yourself to try one new thing, such as a new excursion or restaurant, on every cruise.
