Creator's Key Takeaways

I cruise a lot and I always sail with travel insurance. You should too.

We're up on 117 cruises now.

The crew was the breakout star on board the ship.

I would highly recommend sailing one of the smaller ships.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Research the islands and decide what's important for you before booking excursions.
Consider booking independent tours in Hawaiian islands and NCL tours in French Polynesia to avoid being stranded.
Bring dollars for tipping and gratuities in French Polynesia.
