Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on over 80 cruises it's still a great way to orient yourself to the ship to the crew to the activities that are going to be taking place before you set sail

the pools on cruise ships are tiny in fact that's one thing first time Cruisers notice the most is how small the pools are

your cabin Steward may ask you whether you want morning or evening service now this is when you want your room clean

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Try a couple different appetizers in the main dining room
✓Book shore excursions in advance because good ones can sell out
✓Bring magnetic hooks for extra cabin storage
✓Put your phone on airplane mode to avoid roaming charges
✓Check the cruise line app for onboard bookings and activities

Small cabin size — Try to only put two people in a cabin if you can help it
