Creator's Key Takeaways

In fact, it surprised at first, too, is that you'll be seasick the whole time.

I think you would have to go massively out of your way to suggest that you would be bored silly on a cruise ship.

It's not a myth, but you're not going to be seasick the whole time.

It's untrue that the dump ship waste and and sewage direct because it's also highly legal.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do your research to find the right cruise line for you.
Watch a lot of YouTube to find which ships work.
Wash your hands and sanitize, especially at buffets.
Compare prices when booking excursions, not just with cruise lines.
Consider booking through a travel agent for better service and room allocation.
