Creator's Key Takeaways
one of the things I find really challenging when I'm on a cruise is keeping the cabin tidy especially if there's more than two of you sharing a room
always have travel insurance and in recent years a lot of travel insurance providers have been catering towards cruise passengers
consider an inside cabin not just because they're cheapest but you get the best night's sleep in the entire world it's so dark
