Creator's Key Takeaways

I think that it's safe to say that we think cruising is still worth it.

Thousands of strangers on one ship. It's the ultimate free reality show.

One week of pure pampering makes real life feel manageable again.

Seasickness is almost not a thing anymore. Seriously, cruise ships have insanely good stabilizers.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take a cab ride away from the cruise port to avoid overcrowding at beaches.
Plan and budget for your cruise using a planner to get the best deal.
Attend shows and activities on the ship for included entertainment.

SeasicknessModern cruise ships have excellent stabilizers, so seasickness is rare unless you are highly sensitive.
OvercrowdingTake a cab to a less crowded beach or book excursions to avoid initial port crowds.
