Creator's Key Takeaways

I am cruising to Alaska flying from Florida out to Seattle to board the carnival spirit heading up to Alaska

The short answer is no if you are booking your cruise through a travel agent there is not going to be an extra cost to you

The mustard drill is basically the safety drill for the ship and you are required to attend it each and every time

The main dining room breakfast lunch and dinner is served and you go and you sit down at the table and be waited on by the staff that's my favorite part

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use a travel agent to book your cruise; there is no extra cost to you.
✓Attend the muster drill as soon as you board to get it over with.
✓Be aware of the dress code for the main dining room; resort casual is typical.
✓Consider a drink package if you drink a lot of soda or alcohol.
✓Prepay gratuities if possible to avoid daily charges on your bill.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cost of using a travel agent — There is no extra cost; the travel agent receives a commission from the cruise line.
Muster drill requirement — You must attend every time; it's a safety requirement and the ship cannot depart until it's complete.
Drink package costs — You don't have to buy one, but it can be worth it if you drink a lot; all adults in the cabin must purchase if one does.
