Creator's Key Takeaways

I pay my tips at the end of the cruise and there's one simple reason why if I have an onboard credit I want to apply that to my tips

I've gotten a lot more comfortable Victoria with booking on my own for my next Cruise everything I booked is on my own

the first thing that we ever did when we went to insata that was actually an Excursion that I did book through the ship was Dirt Cheap

there actually are some killer Taco stands right near where they park the bus and the bus driver will tell you the the best place to get tacos
