Creator's Key Takeaways

I always just go with my gut I look for a really Speedy follow-up time and I have had really good experiences with it

we generally get better deals on airfare we generally get more upgrades than when we do not book with a travel agent

you're not allowed to take any beverages on board however when I researched this I found out that on Royal Caribbean this rule is rarely enforced with soda and water

the ship has pools and water slides tell them they would not have to cook or clean or lift a finger for an entire week

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Ask friends and family for travel agent referrals
โœ“Use Cruiseline.com to find travel agents
โœ“Check CLIA (cruising.org) for certified travel agents
โœ“Interview travel agents about follow-up time and cruise experience
