we have done some of these so we're going to help you not do the same mistake that we did

the one you want to avoid is from the US to Europe we definitely prefer coming from the Europe uh coming from Europe back to the US

inaugural cruises that sounds amazing but there are some downsides also to inaugural cruises one of the big things things is that they can get cancelled

hurricane season from Florida because when you get in the Caribbean and the hurricanes start turning it's gonna put a pretty big damper on your cruise
