Creator's Key Takeaways

I started in the business about 18 years ago after going on a cruise that I just fell in love with

I stopped counting two years ago having traveled on over 150 cruises

most people that say something about seasickness to me I usually ask them you know do you get motion sickness on a plane

the best way to save money is to work with a qualified agent for sure

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Work with a qualified travel agent to find the best savings
✓Be flexible with dates, itinerary, and cabin type to save money
✓Consider guaranteed category staterooms for lower prices
✓Ask about group rates and prospective pricing groups for amenities and savings
✓Check for senior rates if you are over 55

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Seasickness — Ask if you get motion sickness on a plane or in a car; ships have stabilizers and are different from fishing boats
Claustrophobia — Ships are huge, like floating cities, and you can hardly tell they are moving
