Creator's Key Takeaways

all inclusive resorts are the clear winner all inclusive resorts have amazing pools they're big they're meandering some have lazy rivers some have slides some have flowriders nearby

cruise cabins are small really small and in fact some cruise cabins called interior staterooms don't even have a window

cruises are going to do a little bit better with accessibility because they do follow the ada guidelines

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use a travel agent when starting a different type of vacation
βœ“If you want to visit a specific city, fly there instead of booking a cruise
βœ“Consider a drinks package on cruises if you drink alcohol
βœ“If room service is important, all-inclusives are a better fit

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Feeling movement on a cruise ship β€” Remember it's an ocean-going vessel, not just a hotel
Limited flexibility on cruise itineraries β€” Cruises are fixed with no flexibility, unlike all-inclusives
Small rooms on cruise ships β€” All-inclusives offer more space and better room configurations
