10 More Mistakes First Time Cruisers Make
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
In this video, creators Toni and Jenny discuss ten additional mistakes frequently made by first-time cruisers. They begin by advising travelers to research cabin locations using deck maps to avoid noisy areas like the galley or casino. Regarding excursions, they suggest avoiding overbooking to prevent exhaustion and remind viewers that they are not required to book tours to explore ports. A significant warning is given regarding travel documentation, as placing passports in checked luggage can prevent check-in if bags are separated from passengers. The creators also emphasize the importance of purchasing travel insurance and explain that passengers can order multiple dishes in the main dining room without hesitation. To save money, they recommend bringing allowed beverages like wine or soda on board. They also caution against accidental overtipping by explaining how gratuities are handled on bills and suggest using ship apps to plan daily activities. Finally, they advise notifying financial institutions of travel plans to prevent credit cards from being flagged for unusual activity while abroad.
