Creator's Key Takeaways

We firmly believe you should do some background research and have an idea of when, where, how long, which Cruise Line you're considering.

I always recommend seven days because I hear all these everybody you hear stories these people they go on the latest greatest biggest for their first cruise.

For families, we can only recommend two cruise lines with confidence: Carnival and Royal Caribbean.

We highly recommend doing Celebrity for a couple's cruise; the food is outstanding and it's awesome.

YouTube Video Description

It’s time for another Cocktails and Cruise Ships livestream here at Huddle Adventures! We get a lot of questions from people that are interested in going on their very first cruise. The most common question is: “How do I plan a cruise?” Most people know they can book their cruise with a travel agent but they don’t know where to begin when it comes to selecting the port, the cruise line, the cruise ship, the duration, time of year, the itinerary, etc, etc. We firmly believe you should do some basic cruise research & planning before contacting your travel agent. We are going to share our strategy for selecting and planning our cruises. Our goal is to help make planning your first or next cruise easier. Pour yourself a cocktail and join the conversation.
