Creator's Key Takeaways

Don't get your advice off TikTok. Don't get your news off TikTok. Don't just saying.

Travel the same day. You You got plenty of time. I'm not saying it doesn't work and there aren't people that have done it and make it good.

Drink packages make sense if your behavior matches the math. And most people wildly overestimate how much they drink on vacation.

You buy it because you can't control what happens. And a lot of the don't get it advice comes from people who just gotten lucky so far.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do not travel to your port on the same day as your flight.
Do not rely on TikTok as your primary source for cruise advice or news.
Calculate the math before buying a drink package to ensure it matches your consumption.
Consider travel insurance for medical emergencies and flight disruptions.
Interior cabins are a great budget win if you only use the room for sleeping.
