Creator's Key Takeaways

Tip one is avoid the two to four night sellings. Um they're just too rushed and tend to be a little bit more of a booze cruise.

So I would target a five to six night selling. Um you'll find that those are going to be a better vibe.

So, I would recommend doing your small to midsize ships. You'll be a lot happier.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid 2-4 night cruises; target 5-6 night sailings instead.
Avoid mega ships with 5,000+ passengers; choose small to midsize ships.
Avoid spring break and holidays; target January through early March (wave season) for discounts.

YouTube Video Description

STOP! Before you book your first cruise follow these 3 key tips. TIP 1 - Skip the 2-4 night cruises! They are rushed and crowded, often “Booze Cruises”. Go for the 5-6 night sailings for the full cruise experience but don’t go wild and book a 14 night cruise either! TIP 2 - Don’t start with a Mega Ship! 5,000 + passengers?? That is like a floating Theme Park and can be way too overwhelming for your first cruise. Start with a Small to Midsize ship for a smoother experience. Tip 3 - Timing is Everything! Avoid Spring Break and Holidays unless you like crowds and chaos. Book during “Wave” season which in January to early March for the best discounts. Cruising should be Fun - not overwhelming!
