Creator's Key Takeaways

I always tell people if you are even having trouble trying to figure out how to get started just do it through a travel agent

if you think you going to drink that much either use your credit card as your sign and sale or just put cash on your sign and sale

we never come nowhere near the drink package the drink package price

get that cabin because the one thing you don't want is to be in the front of the ship or in the back of the ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book through a travel agent for personalized service and to save time
✓Avoid buying the Carnival drink package unless you are a hardcore drinker; pay as you go instead
✓For vertigo, take medication before boarding and book a midship cabin on a lower deck
✓To get off the ship quickly, do not put your bags out the night before and carry your own luggage
✓If you have an early flight, purchase 'Faster to the Fun' and do not use the overnight bag drop
