Creator's Key Takeaways

the ship is just as important as the destination itinerary some people say even more important because you're on the ship 85 percent of the time of your cruise

i highly recommend that you look at the cruise ship for the cruise you're interested in google that ship

i recommend for first time cruisers to do your excursions through the cruise line you're sailing with that way you're protected

pack your luggage pack everything up guys get it all packed and ready the night of the cruise

✓Book excursions through the cruise line for protection and onboard credit
✓Arrive at the port the day before to avoid travel stress
