Creator's Key Takeaways

The cruise ship is the destination. As the famous philosopher that goes by the name of Wendover Productions once said, that these ships are more so becoming the destinations

If you end up with a noisy stateroom, it's always good to just bring a pair of foam ear plugs on board just in case you need to mute out the extra noise.

The whole point of going on a cruise is you could forget about all your worries. When cruising is at its best is when you're not worrying about every little minute detail

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book excursions in advance to avoid them selling out.
✓Put your phone in airplane mode to avoid exorbitant data charges in international waters.
✓Arrive at your departure port the night before to mitigate flight delay risks.
✓Check your onboard bill daily to ensure accuracy before disembarking.
✓Always follow ship time rather than local port time.

Missing the ship — Arrive at the port early and always adhere to ship time, not local time.
Hidden costs — Budget for crew gratuities and check if drink packages are actually worth the math.
