Creator's Key Takeaways

after 40 cruises on three continents I've learned to use several tools that help me save hundreds of dollars on every Cruise

travel insurance is a must for most Travelers and most Cruise Lines offer offer their own insurance product

my first tip is to take a few minutes to do some research before you decide whether to accept this coverage

my fifth tip is if you're travels will involve significant purchase in a foreign currency make sure you pay for them with a card that doesn't charge the commission
