Creator's Key Takeaways

These are not tips that are a bonus to a decent wage. They're the way that the crew involved get paid.

The first one is just a rehearsal. If you took notice of tip one and picked the right ship for you, then the first trip is just a practice.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Research ships thoroughly before booking to find the right fit.
✓Don't worry about getting lost on the ship; it's normal.
✓Check formal night dress codes and choose dining options accordingly.
✓Pay gratuities as they are part of the crew's pay.
✓Book ship excursions if nervous about port navigation.
✓Use fixed dining in the main dining room for consistency.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cruising is too expensive — Most costs are paid upfront, and meals, entertainment, and some drinks are included.
Formal night dress code — Research dress codes and use alternative dining if you don't like dressing up.
Gratuities are optional tips — Gratuities are part of crew pay; don't remove them from your onboard account.
First cruise is a one-time experience — View the first cruise as a rehearsal; you'll likely become a repeat cruiser.
