Creator's Key Takeaways

I have had my fair share of some even mortifying embarrassing moments some Excursion blunders and even a personal situation

I was blow drying my hair on Freedom of the Seas it was an Ocean View cabin so we didn't have you know a window or door that we could open

I forgot to book my flights for my Carnival Celebration cruise I forgot to book them until about 2 and 1 half weeks before the cruise

I fell into the cruise ship so yes we were boarding msse Seascape and often times when we board we do film this

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't blow dry your hair right under the smoke detector in your cabin.
Book your flights well in advance to avoid last-minute price increases.
Trust your gut instinct at restaurants and leave if it doesn't feel right.
Don't wait to seek medical help on a cruise if you feel unwell.

YouTube Video Description

Cruises aren't always as perfect as they seem. From imperfect moments, to embarrassing situations to emergencies that could have ended a cruise, I'm sharing my personal cruise mistakes & fails that I've had this year. In some cases, there are lessons to be learned. I even wasted money because of one of my biggest travel mistakes. In other cases, all I can do is laugh & think "it could have been so much worse". Whether you're a first time cruiser or an avid cruiser, I hope you enjoy this cruise vlog of some of my cruise vacations. They were on Carnival, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean, MSC Cruises, Holland America, NCL & Celebrity. 🛳 THE ULTIMATE CRUISE PLANNER 🛳 Get the Life Well Cruised ULTIMATE CRUISE PLANNER ($10 off for a limited time).
