Creator's Key Takeaways

The first mistake people make when booking a cruise is trusting the cruise lines website.

Travel agents get bulk inventory and perks they pass directly to you.

The cruise line's website exists for one reason only, to make them more money.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book through a travel agent instead of directly through the cruise line website.
Ask for onboard credit, free drink packages, and cabin upgrades when booking.
