Creator's Key Takeaways

the cheapest way to go is usually an inside cabin and if you really don't care where you're on the ship getting a guaranteed inside cabin just means you don't pick exactly which cabinet is you just know you're going to get inside cabin right

we generally encourage you to uh to just calculate that as private expense exactly you do have the option of pre-paying your gratuities though you want to get out of the way so you have a empty built into the cruise

if it's something that looks good to you that um that you would enjoy be sure to book that as soon as possible because it does sometimes sell out it often sells out yeah
