Creator's Key Takeaways

when you go in the dining room there is no limit to what you can order because i grew up on our first cruise we thought you could only get one entree one side your drink whatever

the cheers package is worth it but just in case you don't know what the cheers package is and what it consists of it actually allows you to get up to 15 drinks per day per person

embed this in your head that rhymes a hour before your departure time because if not you gonna be one of those peer runners

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Be aware that advertised cruise prices are base prices and do not include port fees or taxes.
✓Use cash or credit card for onboard purchases, not debit card, to avoid holds.
✓Pre-purchase excursions, specialty dining, and Wi-Fi packages to secure availability.
✓Arrive at the port at least one hour before departure to avoid being a pier runner.
✓Join Facebook groups for your specific sailing to connect with other cruisers.
