Creator's Key Takeaways

I love talking to other passengers while on board a cruise plenty of them are new to cruising or new to that Cruise Line

the cruise lines are not going to offer something that they aren't going to make money on when they average it out

don't fall into the emotional trap it's not personal so don't be that angry person at Guest Services are stomping around the ship

the passage contract is pretty much the guide for how your cruise will be carried out it spells out everything from what you can and can't do on board

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Be honest with yourself about what you will spend on a cruise when deciding on beverage or all-inclusive packages
βœ“Watch the price of your cruise after booking to see if a better deal comes up and use price guarantees
βœ“Do the math ahead of time for stateroom upgrade bidding and have a plan
βœ“Research your cruise line's loyalty perks and hidden benefits
βœ“Review the passage contract to understand rules and regulations

Not knowing what perks or benefits are available β€” Ask your room steward, future cruise consultant, travel agent, or cruise line loyalty host for details
Understanding the passage contract β€” Review the document to know rules, refund policies, age requirements, and medical restrictions
