Creator's Key Takeaways
Port days are shorter than advertised so what I mean by this is let's say you're looking in the app and it says the port is 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
alcoholic drinks are not included and when they see the price of the beverage package they get sticker shock
the diversity of the crew you're going to find crew members from all over the world I absolutely love getting to know the crew
how much smaller Cruise cabins are versus hotel rooms so the average hotel room in the United States is roughly 400 square ft where a cruise cabin is about 150 to 200 square ft
