Creator's Key Takeaways

We're live at the Tmont House in Galveastston. We're getting ready to go on the Mariner of the Seas and there's a big winter storm brewing that's causing travel around the country to be shaken up.

This is the last full price cruise we're going on. We booked this cruise almost two years ago when we were just starting to fill our schedule and we've gotten much better at it now because we're doing more comp cruises which is fun.

We're going to try to bump our prime status. We're going to try and get me to prime.

Be prepared for delays. So, we don't want anybody upset on the in the terminal on the cruise. We don't want it to ruin anybody's vacation.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be prepared for boarding delays due to weather and terminal changes.
Use hard-case luggage or line soft luggage with garbage bags to keep belongings dry in rain.
Arrive early to account for flight changes and storm disruptions.
Walk around the ship to avoid gaining weight while enjoying food.
