Creator's Key Takeaways

I love that approach I wish everywhere had the um crew serving buffet um items to everyone and to cut down on the number of germs that are transmitted every time somebody touches the serving utensil

if you get one of these don't be alarmed it doesn't mean that you haven't paid for something you were supposed to pay for

make sure that when you are booking a cruise especially if it's a bucket list cruise and it's there are things that you want to be sure to see that you book The excursions as soon as you can

I would submit that you have people to share the excitement with and um just the whole Voyage it's going to be um epic is my word for it

Creator's Tips & Advice

Prepay gratuities or have them added throughout the voyage on Celebrity Cruise Lines
Book excursions as soon as possible, especially for bucket list cruises, as they sell out
Keep an eye on your credit card statements for fraudulent charges
For Alaska cruise tours, book excursions for the tour segment as soon as you can
When disembarking in Alaska ports, consider local tours for potentially lower prices
