11 STRANGE (But True!) Cruise Tips Most People Don't Know

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a variety of unconventional tips and observations for cruise passengers to improve their experience and save money. He suggests that travelers booking their own cruises should go directly to cruise line websites to avoid wasting time on third party sites that offer identical pricing. To avoid crowds, he recommends boarding later on embarkation day and exploring ports of call early. Financial savings can be found by booking interior cabins near high end suites, purchasing spa day passes which are often unadvertised, and booking Caribbean cruises around August 20th when demand drops. He also advises carrying an old key card to prevent being locked out of staterooms due to energy saving power slots. The video touches on ship superstitions, such as the absence of a thirteenth deck or specific room numbers, and explains how passengers can use carpet patterns and color schemes as navigation clues to find elevators or determine ship direction. Finally, he notes that while solo travelers often pay double occupancy rates, adding a third or fourth person to a cabin can significantly lower the per person cost.
