Creator's Key Takeaways

Look, one simple mistake, one wrong move can cost you your cruise. No refund, no second chances.

I've spent the last nine years going on cruises. I've been on cruise ships for over 500 days.

The number five mistake that first-time cruisers make that could completely ruin your cruise is booking the wrong cabin location.

The number eight mistake that first-time cruisers make is they don't purchase travel protection or they don't purchase travel insurance.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Make a packing list and pre-plan outfits to avoid overpacking.
✓Budget for gratuities to avoid surprise charges on your bill.
✓Keep valuables, cash, and medicine in a carry-on in case luggage is lost.
✓Complete the muster drill as soon as you board the cruise ship.
✓Book a cabin in the middle of the ship for stability and less motion.
✓Do the math before buying a drink package to ensure it's cost-effective.

Overpacking — Make a list of outfits for each day and limit options to save space.
Missing the ship — Travel to the cruise port the day before and use a watch set to ship time.
