Creator's Key Takeaways

I will never buy my drink package on board the ship on nearly every cruise line waiting until you board the ship to buy your drink package will cost you more money than buying it beforehand

I will never leave my phone in cellular data mode instead I switch into airplane mode and activate the ship's Wi-Fi just before sail away

we avoid booking any Cruise Excursion that starts before 10 AM when we Cruise

I never ever ever wear brand new shoes on a cruise why well it's super tempting to buy new clothes and new shoes for a cruise
