Creator's Key Takeaways

I remember finding an $18 bottle of cough medicine on a cruise one time

the buffet to me it's serviceable on every line I've sailed I'm convinced they all source the food from the same spot

if you are sailing on a cruise of 5 days or longer then yes get a balcony

expert Cruisers know that it is so much easier with a passport

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring toiletries and medicines to avoid high ship prices
Use Uber or cab instead of cruise transfers when traveling with two or more people
Buy travel insurance through a third-party insurer for better rates
Bring a bottle or two of wine or champagne and non-alcoholic drinks to save money
Skip the buffet and try different dining spots to avoid monotony
Use the rule of 51015 for cabin selection: balcony for 5+ days, deck 10-15 for easy access
