Creator's Key Takeaways

our first big tip would be to book a cruise in advance when we say this we mean when the cruise is our first release

booking early really does pay off and if you missed when the cruises first came out you can also look at last minute deals

try going without Wi-Fi while on the ship you can get Wi-Fi packages which are pretty good but they still work out so expensive

so give just give them a call just to make sure that you're getting the best price for your cruise

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a cruise in advance when itineraries are first released for the best prices
Look at last-minute deals 2-3 months before departure for potential savings
Choose inside cabins to save thousands compared to outside or balcony cabins
Avoid Wi-Fi packages on board and use free Wi-Fi in port
Bring your own toiletries and sun cream to avoid expensive onboard purchases
Look for package deals with free onboard credit, drinks, Wi-Fi, or dining
