Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm always recommending that if you're not doing an inside cabin, which is invariably a quarter of the price of a balcony cabin.

I would always put those trips secondary to doing local cruising if possible.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Focus your travel from your home port if you have one to save money and reduce stress.
Book flights through the cruise line for guaranteed arrival and refundable options.
Consider TSA Pre or Global Entry to improve the airport experience.
If you want internet on board, pay for the premium Wi-Fi package.
