Creator's Key Takeaways

I love talking to other passengers while on board a cruise plenty of them are new to cruising or new to that Cruise Line

the cruise lines are not going to offer something that they aren't going to make money on when they average it out

don't fall into the emotional trap it's not personal so don't be that angry person at Guest Services are stomping around the ship

the passage contract is pretty much the guide for how your cruise will be carried out

Creator's Tips & Advice

Honestly estimate your daily consumption to decide if a beverage or all-inclusive package is worth it
Watch the price of your cruise after booking and use price guarantees if available
Do the math ahead of time and have a plan for stateroom upgrade bidding
Research your cruise line's loyalty perks and hidden discounts
Review the passage contract to understand rules and regulations
