YouTube Video Description↓

In this video discover the nine things that cruise lines do not tell you, and do not want you to know. Cruising is a great vacation but there are a range of things that cruise lines would rather you did not know about how they operate, conditions on the ship, rules they follow and some restrictions on your rights and what you can do that you agree to when buying a ticket (but are not drawn to your attention until things go wrong). I reveal the things that I think you need to know about... including some rather ghoulish and unusual facilities hidden from passengers. If you think I have missed any things leave a comment.. #cruisetips #cruisingtips #cruisetipsandtricks #firsttimecruisetips Subscribe and get a new video every week to help you make more of your precious travel time and money on both land and at sea: http://bit.ly/TFT_YouTube2 Support the channel by booking your next cruise and for the best deals on CRUISEDIRECT.COM: http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-8330795-10511118 Consider becoming a Tips For Travellers Patron.
