Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm gonna share with you my favorite tricks tips and hacks that I use to get better fares a better cruising experience better excursions and overall just a better time cruising

even though I have done you know 67 cruises at the time of recording us I still use a cruise agent when I go cruising

make sure you're surrounded on all sides by other cabins so a cabin above you below you to the left and to the right of you and ideally opposite you as well

don't take it out just before you go on the cruise take it out at the time of booking your cruise and that's really important because then if you have to cancel your cruise you're not going to lose your deposit

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Sign up for cruise line newsletters to get alerted about special deals and promotions.
✓Use a cruise agent to help guide you and potentially beat offers from newsletters.
✓Consider a guaranteed cabin for the best deal, but choose a specific cabin for better location and noise control.
✓Get travel insurance that covers cruises at the time of booking to protect your deposit.
✓Arrive at the departure port the day before the cruise to avoid travel disruptions.
✓Pack according to dress codes, themed parties, and excursions, and bring a personalized first-aid kit.
