Creator's Key Takeaways

If you can't afford to lose the total amount that you paid for that trip, you need insurance.

Do not convince anybody to do something that they don't want to do because they are going to become your project and your problem.

Pack your patience even when you get to the port on embarkation day.

Don't be stressing about what you going to wear cuz nobody cares but you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Get travel insurance if you cannot afford to lose the full cost of the trip.
✓Arrive at your destination at least one day before the cruise departs.
✓Choose travel companions wisely; do not try to force unenthusiastic people to travel with you.
✓Pack enough clothing options to avoid the need for laundry or stress.
✓Pack patience for delays, crowds, and difficult people.
✓Book early flights and non-stop if possible to minimize the risk of missing the ship.
