Creator's Key Takeaways

if you have to fly to your departure Port then a cardinal rule is you must fly in the day before

if you've never been on a cruise before then I would strongly recommend that you don't start your cruising experience with one of the shorter repositioning Crews

size really does matter if you are looking at going on a cruise that's on a ship that is 4,000 or more passengers

you'll often see certain cruises are on for an exceptionally low price by comparison to other cruises and what you have to look at is the itinerary

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Fly in the day before your departure port if you have to fly

✓Explore the ship when you first get on board to find extra pools and activities

✓Avoid starting with short repositioning cruises if you're a first-timer

✓Consider ship size and passenger capacity to manage lines and crowds

✓Check itinerary port times to ensure you have enough time to explore

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Inside cabin has no windows and limited space — Use TV bow cam at night; expect less storage than hotel rooms

Missing embarkation due to flight delays — Fly in day before departure

Short cruises may lack activities — Avoid repositioning cruises as first experience

Booking your first cruise without a Travel Agent? There are some critical things you HAVE to do and some things you really MUST avoid. Cruising is a great way to see a bunch of different places, while having a ton of activities, as well as great food & drinks along the way.
