Creator's Key Takeaways

We are preparing to go on our first Carnival cruise in April. It's only three weeks away now.

I would recommend Royal Caribbean. Um, for a first-timer, they're family-friendly.

The food is good. Mostly the food is good. Once in a while, main dining room, you'll get something that's, you know, it's not that good, but it's okay.

Sometimes it's worth it to stay on the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions through the cruise line to ensure you get back to the ship.
For a short cruise, try to minimize packing but have choices.
Use magnetized accessories for cruise ship walls and ceilings.
Consider staying on the ship on port days to save money and relax.
Order multiple items from the main dining room menu to try different dishes.
