Creator's Key Takeaways

know what type of cruise you're booking and one one of the things I can never understand is people that book a Carnival Cruise a a familyfriendly cruise and complain about the number of kids on the ship

if you can avoid it try not to book within the final payment window meaning I believe it's 60 days before the Cruise if you book within that 60 book 60-day window you're going to have to pay all of it up in one shot

don't book a cruise without reading the fine print I know nobody wants to read the fine print your travel agent tells you this and and that and you just say okay here's my money

booking at the height of summertime or booking at the height of a holiday time um without the fact in mind that it's going to be crowded

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try not to book within the final payment window (60 days before the cruise) to avoid paying in full upfront.
Always read the fine print of the cruise contract to understand terms and conditions.
Avoid booking at the height of summer or holidays if you want a less crowded cruise.
Consider buying travel insurance from a private provider instead of the cruise line for better coverage.
