Creator's Key Takeaways

we've done 13 cruises since the pandemic started so we've got lots of experience

thank god most if not all cruise lines now have done away with masks which is amazing

it's the safest form of travel in our opinion because no other form of transport airlines don't require vaccines

now is really a good time to cruise we haven't seen anywhere at capacity yet

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check your cruise line's specific vaccination and testing requirements before sailing
✓Print out all vaccination statuses and insurance documents as backup
✓Get travel insurance that specifically covers cruise vacations and COVID-19
✓Pack hand sanitizer and masks just in case local requirements change
✓Be flexible as itineraries may still change due to pandemic effects
