Creator's Key Takeaways

new cruisers are quite often disappointed in the size of their cruise cabin

the Lido deck or the pool deck will fill up quickly you get there 9:30 or 10:00 in the morning and it will be full

technically you could cruise and not drop another penny once you get on the ship there is enough food enough types of drinks available to hold you over for the entire week

every day there will be a newsletter of sorts in your cabin each cruise line has a different name for it but every one of them offers it

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get a balcony to make the cabin feel bigger
βœ“Pack light to save space in the cabin
βœ“Get up early on sea days to secure good deck chairs
βœ“Read the daily newsletter to avoid missing activities
