Creator's Key Takeaways
The cabin matters less than you think. One of the most common comments that I get on this channel is, 'Oh, I would love to live full-time on cruise ships, but ain't no way I could be in the interior ocean view.'
The least expensive cruise is not always the least expensive vacation. I believe that's why my family started cruising way back in I think 2001.
Cruise loyalty programs are more valuable than most people realize. When you stick to one cruise line compared to jumping back and forth, you're going to save a lot of money.
The crew can absolutely, whether you want to believe it or not, make or break a cruise. And for that matter the other guests too.
