🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Motion sickness — Book a cabin in the middle of the ship on a lower deck, bring medication, and spend time on deck looking at the horizon.

Norovirus — Wash hands frequently with soap and water, avoid buffet during first and last days, and isolate if symptomatic.

Missing the ship — Build buffer time into excursions, book through cruise line for complicated ports, and have a backup plan.
