Creator's Key Takeaways

I spent literally tens of thousands of dollars across dozens of cruises over the years

there are some things that you need to splurge on during your trip to have the best time possible

I just spent 85 bucks for a 4day cruise and I'm still not over that

I found that well after the cruise the day-to-day of the trip it can fade a bit but these shore excursions stand out as some of the sharpest memories that I have

Creator's Tips & Advice

Splurge for the highest tier internet service if you need Wi-Fi
Do at least one shore excursion per cruise for memorable experiences
Book a balcony cabin for trips longer than 4 days for more relaxation
Try specialty restaurants once or twice during a weeklong cruise
Buy a spa thermal pass for access to facilities without treatments
Avoid splurging in the ship's casino due to poor odds
