Creator's Key Takeaways

we've done over 25 of them and whenever we post videos of the trips we take usually there are some comments of people hey I haven't taken a cruise before

the pitfall is make sure you figure out how early you need to go to the theater to get a good seat

don't fall into that trap number eight don't fall into the Trap of the onboard spend

I would highly highly suggest you don't go on Carnival if you love Carnival and you're watching this more power to you

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Go to the theater early on the first night to gauge popularity and secure a seat
✓Avoid taking excessive photos and videos; focus on memorable moments
✓Be strategic about onboard spending, such as spa treatments, internet packages, and drink packages
✓Don't rush to the buffet when it first opens to avoid crowds
✓Arrive at the port early, even if you have an assigned boarding time
✓Reserve pool chairs responsibly and avoid hogging seats

Not knowing how early to arrive for theater shows — Go the first night to feel out the crowd and adjust arrival time accordingly
Over-spending on onboard amenities — Be strategic about packages and only buy what you'll actually use
Safety in foreign ports — Ports are safe due to ship livelihood, but use common sense and avoid shady areas
