Creator's Key Takeaways

i recommend at least look at a balcony cabin you'll have access to fresh air you can enjoy the sailing sunrises sunsets the great view

excursions are worth paying for on many many cruises to absolutely get the most out of every single port

going to one of the speciality dining venues can actually add a sense of event and add a bit of occasion to the cruise

i think skipping beverage packages is a really good idea because in most cases it's going to cost you more than buying drinks individually
