Creator's Key Takeaways

We went from a family of seven to two. So what we do is we take the budget we used all those years with the five kids and we take the two of us.

Every every time we went on go on a celebrity cruise, sweets only.

Always remember the squeaky wheel gets the oil in that situation.

It's a lot easier than it used to be. And the room's cleaner.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Take the budget you used for a family of seven and apply it to a couple's cruise for luxury travel.
โœ“Always call the cruise line to ask for upgrades; persistence pays off.
โœ“Factor in the cost of excursions for seven people to afford private experiences.
โœ“Use the bidding system for suite upgrades and call directly for better deals.
