Creator's Key Takeaways

After going on more than 40 cruises, I've realized that there are some big and some little things that have the potential to make a cruise better or worse.

I pretty much always now get a balcony cabin.

We almost always take in sail away from our balcony.

I almost always get a laundry package.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a balcony cabin for better experience.
Do muster station check-in first on embarkation day.
Board early on embarkation day to have more time.
Ask cabin attendant for extra hangers, pressing, bathrobes, and bed tidying.
Fly in at least one day before the cruise.
Skip one port day to enjoy the ship.
