Creator's Key Takeaways

I had the opportunity to go on my first ever cruise and I wanted to share my experience with you from a first timer

the three local foods that I had at these local places were better than a lot of the stuff that I had on the cruise ship

I highly recommend it if You' never done a cruise before go on a cruise if you can do it

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try the local food at ports for better taste than ship food
Book excursions through Carnival for variety, but also consider third-party options
Walk a lot to offset the weight gain from all the food

I also do a review of the Carvinal Mardi Gras ship, which is the cruise line and ship that I was on. I always heard the food on cruise ships was awesome, were they right? I wish I had gotten more photos and videos of particular things, especially the interior of the cruise ship, but I didn't decide to make this review video until after I got home haha. I also did a review of the 3 ports that we went to, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Grand Turk which is the largest island in the Turks and Caicos. #carnival #carnivalcruise #cruisereview This is not a sponsored video.
