Creator's Key Takeaways

if you've taken a cruise to the Caribbean you know cruise lines are very happy to sell you a drink package

the staff seems to care less and less about your assigned boarding time

cruise ships throw out some heavy exhaust and thankfully they seem to be getting more and more serious about reducing those emissions

you can order more than one entree in the dining room

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid buying over-the-counter medicines on the ship; bring your own or buy at ports of call.
Use private island days as free days to enjoy the beach without spending much money.
Don't rush to book due to sales; they run constantly and new ones will come along.
