Creator's Key Takeaways

We are in no rush to get off the ship. In fact, we almost want to see how late we can stay on the ship before they actually kick us off.

I find that I took way too little cash uh in order to help out with tipping. So, make sure that you are taking more cash than you potentially think you need.

I paid an extra $7 in cash than I otherwise would have. So, he basically baked his tip into the amount.

We loved it. And Amy didn't get sick. ... And so it was all good and we kind of got the green light on cruising.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take more cash for tips than you think you need, especially for stateroom hosts and dining servers.
Walk your bags off the ship yourself for the fastest disembarkation if you're in a rush.
Double-check currency conversions in ports to avoid being overcharged.
