Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on about 25 cruises and recently I posted both of these videos

first I want to talk about the different cruise lines now I have not been on every single different Cruise Line I've been on about five of them

I'd highly recommend do not be a slave to the schedule so every day they put out a schedule whether it's a paper schedule or usually on their app

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan on spending money for tips, shore excursions, souvenirs, casino, drinks, internet, and food
Go a day early if you have to fly to the port to avoid missing the ship
Check in online as early as possible to reserve an early boarding time
Avoid the buffet immediately after boarding as it's the busiest place
Don't be in a huge hurry to get off the boat at the end of the cruise
Book shore excursions through the ship for safety and recourse

Cost of cruiseTypically $1,000-$1,500 per person for a seven-day cruise
