Creator's Key Takeaways

Listen, after almost 100 cruises, I don't do a lot of these things anymore. But as a first-time cruiser, these tips will make your experience 100 times better.

I no longer book interior cabins. Well, sometimes I do, but very, very rarely do I book interior cabins. Now, I believe as a new cruiser, you should book interior cabins.

I now no longer opt out of the travel insurance. In fact, I carry an annual policy. As a first-time cruiser, do not opt out of the travel insurance.

I no longer stay loyal to any cruise line. Now, in the very beginning, as some of you guys are probably researching things, I was very loyal to Carnival, and that was because of the price point.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book an interior cabin for your first cruise to save money.
✓Do not opt out of travel insurance.
✓Arrive at the cruise port at least one day before your cruise.
✓Set a budget for onboard spending.
✓Book ship excursions for your first cruise for peace of mind.
