Creator's Key Takeaways
my family and I are getting ready to sail on the icon of the Seas so this will be our third spring break in a row where we are going on a cruise
not booking with a travel agent I have talked about this before I have booked cruises on my own before but there's a lot of reasons why you do want to book with a travel agent
pre-booking your packages you know everything you know most things are going to be cheaper before the cruise once you get on the ship when you're booking um you know you're booking dining or you know anything else it's going to be more expensive on the ship
make sure you're leaving enough time for both because again if you miss the ship because your flight was cancelled yes you might have travel insurance and stuff but you're out of luck
