Creator's Key Takeaways

I just completed my 80th cruise since 2019. I just got off yesterday.

If you book through the ship, you're going to pay a higher price, but it also gives you a return to ship guarantee.

MSC can provide distilled water if requested.

Grand Bahama is not my favorite island.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book third-party excursions for cheaper prices and smaller groups, but ensure they have a return-to-ship guarantee.
✓Always give yourself at least 2 hours of wiggle room to get back to the ship on time.
✓For tender ports, consider ship excursions or book later tours to avoid delays.
✓If you're a first-time cruiser going to Europe, definitely do ship excursions.
✓Book hotels with refundable rates and monitor prices to rebook if lower.
