Creator's Key Takeaways

I just got home from a wonderful cruise on Carnival Horizon to the ABC Islands.

If I made a mistake and they offered me anything, then I would think that they would be gracious of them. But I didn't make any mistakes.

All the blinds were shut. All the lines were down to the minimum last night. The security did an amazing job keeping watch over the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Always call the cruise line directly to confirm documentation requirements.
Wash your hands frequently to prevent Norovirus spread.
Carry travel insurance if you cruise often.
Be vigilant about child safety on board.
