Creator's Key Takeaways
Repositioning cruises can be an awesome deal or a huge mistake and how it turns out depends entirely on the decisions you make before you even board the ship.
If you're not leaving from a US port going to Europe or you're not leaving from a European port going to the US, you could experience a massive culture shock.
During repositioning cruises, this is kind of bad advice because on these repositioning cruises, when you look at the itinerary, you're going to find such unique places that most cruises don't go to.
On these longer cruises which most repositioning cruises are 10, 14 days, some 3 weeks or more, there's a better chance that any kind of bug going around that ship is going to get to you.
