Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been cruising from an early age but then we took a bit of a break um because of the joys of University and stuff

I always try and do the hints and tips because it's stuff that it is more personal

I very much ensure as a lot of the other bloggers always do is to ensure that you actually tell people it's a press trip

I'd recommend them to anyone and the ships are a lot smaller

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book through a cruise planner who knows a lot about cruising
โœ“Opt out of potential cabin upgrades if you have a specific preference
โœ“Shop around for deals, as prices can vary between agents and direct bookings

Getting lost on large ships โ€” It's overwhelming at first but you get used to it; use the stairs and explore
Formal nights and dress code โ€” Embrace the formal nights; they are only a couple of nights during the cruise
