Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on 29 cruises so far and I would say at least 50% the itinerary has changed at some point

the wording in this bit is a bit dramatic it actually says that they can use your photos videos and audio throughout the universe

you cannot under any circumstances go into the staff only areas that makes perfect sense

safety is a thousand percent the most important concern for all Cruise Lines

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stick with independent excursions for cost savings but be aware of cancellation risks
Do not attempt to smuggle live animals or prohibited items on board

YouTube Video Description

Have you ever wondered what you're actually agreeing to when you book a cruise? I'm willing to bet that 99% of people do not read their cruise contract when they book a cruise, I know I don't! For this video I read a full cruise contract, all 13 pages of it, start to finish. I don't mention a specific line in this video but I collated similar clauses from various different cruise lines. Let me know in the comments if you've ever considered these things before. I hadn't!
