Creator's Key Takeaways
If you're a first-time cruiser, the biggest risk isn't seasickness or the food or crowds is actually booking the wrong cruise, paying for it, and not realizing it until you're already on the ship.
You need to understand who you are as a traveler. So, the first most important question is, what is your vacation vibe?
A cruise that's perfect for one group can feel totally wrong for another group.
Food quality and variety are also tied into the old schoolness of a ship versus the newness of a ship.
