Creator's Key Takeaways

If you've taken a cruise before, but you've never had what I call a fake sea day, I would challenge you to give it a go at some point.

On a port day, if there's just a couple of you at the bar, you can actually get to know that crew member a little bit better and build up a much better rapport.

At the end of the day, you're on vacation. If you want to stay on board that cruise ship and relax, then you absolutely should feel free to do that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check if your port of call charges extra taxes on drinks when the ship is docked.
βœ“Ask the spa team for discounts on treatments or thermal suite access on port days.
βœ“Use the Cruise Globe app to check which other large ships are in port to avoid crowds.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Seasickness β€” Stay on the ship while it is docked in port to enjoy the ship without the motion of the ocean.
Crowded ports β€” Check which other ships are in port using an app like Cruise Globe to decide if a port will be too busy.
