Creator's Key Takeaways

I highly recommend not skipping the travel insurance make sure that you are insured

we usually get a substantial medical insurance and evacuation insurance and we normally spend anywhere between a hundred and two hundred dollars for a seven-day cruise

the assigned gratuity or the assigned service fee go to taking care of your room steward people that serve you in the main dining room

if you're somebody that's prone to motion sickness this is the place where you're going to worry about it maybe more so than any other vacation type

Creator's Tips & Advice

Purchase travel insurance for medical and evacuation coverage
Budget for port fees even if you don't disembark
Consider getting a passport for frequent cruising
Plan for shore excursion costs at each port
Bring seasickness remedies if prone to motion sickness
