Creator's Key Takeaways

I have been cruising for so many years, 22 years for me.

I find this more fun of a downtown than Aruba.

It's really helpful. You don't have to do a lot of research in advance.

I love I'm going to look for cruises that are number one on ships that prioritizes more ocean views over more games and venues.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Buy warm drinks instead of cold to save money for your cruise room.
Use the free Wi-Fi service available near the port area if you don't have cell data.
