Creator's Key Takeaways

I would recommend flying to the cruiseport city with a flight that lands as close as possible to the time that the ship is going to depart.

One of the best ways to get a great deal on a cruise is to just go to the port on the day of the cruise and ask for the last minute cabin deals.

You absolutely cannot wear the same thing twice on a cruise. Everybody's going to know it's going to be completely embarrassing, and you might have to pay a fine.

The UV rays of the sun only affect your skin if land is underneath you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Fly to the cruise port with a flight landing close to departure time to save money.

✓Go to the port on the day of the cruise to ask for last-minute cabin deals.

✓Bring a picture of a pineapple upside down on your cabin door to signal you're new and need help.

✓Mix soft serve ice cream with mashed potatoes for a filling meal hack.
