Creator's Key Takeaways

Booking the wrong cruise line or cruise ship could ruin the experience and potentially put you off cruising entirely.

It is honestly the easiest way to see multiple places in one trip.

I truly believe there is a cruise line and a cruise for everybody, but it's just about picking the right one.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Select a cabin in the middle of the ship to minimize motion and noise.

✓Set your phone to manual time to avoid missing the ship due to time zone changes.

✓Do not fly to your cruise ship on the same day you are boarding.

✓Book excursions through the ship if you want the guarantee that the ship will wait for you if you are late.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Seasickness — Choose a cabin in the middle of the ship to feel the least amount of motion.

Being left behind by the ship — Set phone to manual time and book excursions through the cruise line if you are worried about timing.

Overcrowding — Consider smaller ships or specific cruise lines that match your desired vibe.

Hidden costs — Factor in gratuities, Wi-Fi, excursions, and drinks packages into your initial budget.
