Creator's Key Takeaways

We've now worked out it's not really worth having speciality dining or even going to dinner or even getting changed for dinner when there's some sailings or sailouts

We've now actually factor that in. We very often now will say, 'Oh, buffet buffet.'

I would rather that than go to dinner and in fact we have now done that so I don't know who that lady was and her friends but that has actually that would be a hammer for me that's changed my perspective

If you can afford it, do it. Give it a well at least give it a go once.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Plan your cruises around scenic sailings and consider skipping specialty dining to enjoy the views.
โœ“Consider ocean view cabins as a good compromise, especially in ports with poor weather.
โœ“If you can afford it, try a suite at least once for the experience.
โœ“Book drinks packages before Black Friday to lock in prices if rates might increase.
โœ“Stay at a hotel near the port the night before and after a cruise, especially for short sailings.
