Creator's Key Takeaways
Give $2 bills to the bartenders or anyone that you might want to give a small tip to.
When you get to your cabin on the first day of your cruise, take a photo of your cabin number, basically your door, and make that the wallpaper on your phone.
Look for alternative breakfast options. Now, we often talk about different places that you can eat on board as an alternative um on imbarcation day for lunch, but we don't usually talk about breakfast on a cruise, but there are often better places than the buffet.
Use a travel agent. Now, this is one still that many people think is going to cost them extra, but a travel agent can actually be such a big help when you book your cruise and can save you money and you can get some extra perks.
