Creator's Key Takeaways

it's what is it taking a first-time Cruiser on a cruise for the very first time it's actually one of my favorite things to do

every first timer is astounded by how clear the water is I don't care how many times they've been to Miami Beach

I have a rule I usually bring a hundred singles with me on the cruise solely to give out as tips

the proper answer is the day before so you know that you were there that you're not going to miss the ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to the port the day before your cruise to avoid missing the ship
Bring a jacket or hoodie for the ship's air conditioning on the first day
Bring cash in singles for tipping beyond the automatic gratuities
Dress for summer but bring layers for cooler evenings and air-conditioned areas
