Creator's Key Takeaways

Real ID has nothing to do with cruising whatsoever.

Carnival slipped through here. Used to be when you went up to the bar at Carnival, it you could order a drink every five minutes. Right now it's 10.

We were super happy with our MSC cruise. We were super happy with the Seascape. We completely recommend that ship.

We pick the cruise for the ship, the cruise line, the itinerary. Something drives us that direction and loyalty ain't it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Get a passport for the easiest way to travel domestically.
✓Negotiate the price ahead of time for any tour or excursion.
✓Read the new insurance policy if you book Carnival's vacation protection plan after December 1st.
