Creator's Key Takeaways
number one a balcony may not always be worth it now personally I love a balcony but what I am talking about is there are some Cruise itineraries where you may not get a lot of use out of a balcony
number five be ready for the ship movement now I really do think that people that are frequent Cruisers forget that the ship does move just a little bit
number nine your cruise ship cabin attendant can be your best friend now what I mean is you can ask your cabin attendant for a lot of things
number fifteen repair repair repair now oftentimes I'm told that this is the very best tip because honestly cruise lines are never going to let you know this but up until your final payment most of the time the cruise line is going to honor that lower price
