Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruising is not a onesizefits-all vacation.

Don't let one angry keyboard warrior on the internet decide whether you book that cruise.

The key has some nice perks, but calling it essential is a stretch.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use reviews for fun or ideas, but don't use them as life or death decisions on which ship to sail.
✓Don't place too much emphasis on what you wear in the evening being critiqued by the cruise line.
✓Do your online check-in time, but don't sweat it if you don't get an early slot.
✓When factoring in convenience, time, and stress, sometimes paying extra for terminal parking is worth it.
✓Don't plan around the rain because it's impossible to know with any certainty what to expect.
✓If you show up earlyish and know how to get the early check-in time, you'll survive just fine without paying extra for the key.
