Creator's Key Takeaways

We were all new cruisers once. Though many of us forget the stress of not knowing what to do when they first get on the ship or who to ask when there are questions

I would say that depending on what cruise line you're on that that may be the case or it may not be the case

The key thing to remember is if you do anything ashore and it is not booked through the cruise ship make sure you are back at the ship on time

Cruise lines have great bars and the drinks are really really good and they work really hard to deliver a great experience

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check the itinerary first when choosing a cruise
βœ“Book excursions through the cruise line for safety and convenience
βœ“Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated
βœ“Plan to return to the ship at least an hour before departure
βœ“Ask crew members for honest recommendations in port
