Creator's Key Takeaways

On a transatlantic, the ship is your destination.

I would not prefer an insider cabin on a transatlantic.

I was unwell. I'm not everybody. He is not everybody. You need to know yourself.

The ports are neat. And one of the things I would suggest is really take the time to look at the shore excursions.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Be prepared for seasickness with medicine and a small medicine cabinet.
โœ“Choose a centrally located cabin for less motion.
โœ“Use the ship's app to track entertainment and ship time.
โœ“Be intentional about shore excursions to maximize port time.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Long sea days and potential boredom โ€” Adopt a mindset that the ship is the destination and utilize onboard entertainment.
Seasickness โ€” Come prepared with medicine and know your own susceptibility.
