Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on 77 cruises over the last 20 years.

If I could only cruise in one place ever again, it would be Japan.

Cruising makes travel so easy because you really are being looked after.

I would not be comfortable with that, but it did used to be quite common.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Fly in a day or two early if traveling far to board.
Book a guaranteed cabin to save money and potentially get an upgrade.
Check your onboard account daily to avoid billing errors.
