Creator's Key Takeaways

I found that by packing less clothing it really gave me more anxiety than satisfaction

I just don't find it practical at all to skip buying internet package on the ship

I feel cooped up when I'm on the ship instead of exploring or just doing something in Port

I have stopped bidding for State room upgrades if you're very flexible and don't really care where your room is located then rail up might be fine for you but I can't get past a couple of issues with it

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid overpacking to reduce anxiety, but don't skimp on luggage if you fly
✓Buy internet access on the ship for practicality and entertainment
✓Get off the ship early during port stops to explore and avoid crowds
✓Splurge on specialty dining for variety and enjoyment
✓Book cruises early instead of waiting to book on board to avoid price increases
✓Choose a cabin location carefully to avoid noise problems
