Creator's Key Takeaways

This is our first cruise in 4 years. The last time we went on a cruise was February 2020 and it was right before the world shut down in March of 2020 because of the vids.

I've been on 12 cruises. And how many have you been on, Scott? I think this is 10 for me.

One thing I will say that I regret is that I did not get to a beach on this trip because our stop here at Great Surf K was supposed to be our beach day and we couldn't get off the ship.

So, I would say it was a good trip. What do you say off camera, guys? Did you enjoy it? Yeah. I can't hear you. I did.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do your research on ports of call, especially those requiring tenders.
Consider booking a Cruise Next credit for future savings.
Be prepared for daily service charges on board.
