Creator's Key Takeaways

We love talking all things cruise, so join us in this episode of Talking Ship Live where we'll be answering your cruise questions!

We've got a Queen Victoria vlogs this weekend. We've been voicing them over. I'm currently actually working through episode two of the Queen Victoria, which has been super Christmy.

We're off to New York at the end of December and then we're sailing back on Queen Mary to the 3rd of January. Third of January, eastbound transatlantic.

The Northern Lights one was definitely a pinch me kind of moment. A lot of that did not feel real.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check with the cruise line before bringing extension leads or power bars.
Consider getting a USB charger with multiple ports for charging devices.
Pre-book specialty dining to avoid availability issues, especially with premier packages.
For a birthday on board, book a specialty restaurant and order a cake via the personalizer or reception.
For Canary Islands cruises, flying is recommended for instant heat and convenience.
