Creator's Key Takeaways

there's no such thing as a bad Cruise

I love hearing and learning from other Cruisers because I know that when we do so we actually have the opportunity to make our own future cruises better

nobody really knows you on the cruise ship and honestly I after your cruise is done most people are going to forget it so this is really the time to get out of your shell and do the things that you want to do

seasickness can really happen to anyone and if you spend the day or two or more not feeling well it can actually really impact your cruise vacation
