Creator's Key Takeaways

if you have to fly to your departure Port then a cardinal rule is you must fly in the day before

if you've never been on a cruise before then I would strongly recommend that you don't start your cruising experience with one of the shorter repositioning Crews

size really does matter if you are looking at going on a cruise that's on a ship that is 4,000 or more passengers

you'll often see certain cruises are on for an exceptionally low price by comparison to other cruises and what you have to look at is the itinerary

Creator's Tips & Advice

Fly in the day before your departure port if you have to fly
Explore the ship when you first get on board to find extra pools and activities
Avoid starting with short repositioning cruises if you're a first-timer
Consider ship size and passenger capacity to manage lines and crowds
Check itinerary port times to ensure you have enough time to explore

Booking your first cruise without a Travel Agent? There are some critical things you HAVE to do and some things you really MUST avoid. Cruising is a great way to see a bunch of different places, while having a ton of activities, as well as great food & drinks along the way. But if you make some of these mistakes, it could be disastrous and put you off cruising forever. * * * * Thanks for watching & happy travels everyone! 🙌 Support my channel here : https://www.buymeacoffee.com/beachtravel 🛒 𝗠 𝗬 𝗙 𝗔 𝗩 𝗘 𝗧 𝗥 𝗔 𝗩 𝗘 𝗟 𝗚 𝗔 𝗗 𝗚 𝗘 𝗧 𝗦 𝗙 𝗥 𝗢 𝗠 𝗧 𝗛 𝗘 𝗟 𝗜 𝗩 𝗘 𝗕 𝗥 𝗢 𝗔 𝗗 𝗖 𝗔 𝗦 𝗧 🛒 𝖳𝗁𝖾𝗌𝖾 𝖺𝗋𝖾 𝗌𝗈𝗆𝖾 𝗈𝖿 𝗆𝗒 𝖿𝖺𝗏𝗈𝗎𝗋𝗂𝗍𝖾 𝗍𝗁𝗂𝗇𝗀𝗌 𝗍𝗈 𝗍𝖺𝗄𝖾 𝗈𝗇 𝗏𝖺𝖼𝖺𝗍𝗂𝗈𝗇! ► Travel Pillow https://amzn.to/3OvDqi0 ► Earbuds https://amzn.to/3waJDcQ ► Insta 360 X3 https://amzn.to/3HXnlO5 ► Insta 360 X3 with extra gadgets https://amzn.to/48341db ► Fast Charger Plug https://amzn.to/49sB5w2 ► Fast Charger Cables https://amzn.to/3UrTeWJ ► Portable Battery https://amzn.to/3UuBsSE ► Pool Float https://amzn.to/3UwWyj9 ► 𝖲𝗂𝗅𝗂𝖼𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝖡𝗋𝖺𝖼𝖾𝗅𝖾𝗍𝗌 𝖿𝗈𝗋 𝖠𝗂𝗋𝖳𝖺𝗀𝗌 𝗈𝗋 𝖯𝗋𝗂𝗇𝖼𝖾𝗌𝗌 𝖬𝖾𝖽𝖺𝗅𝗅𝗂𝗈𝗇𝗌 https://amzn.to/3TpOhu0 ► 𝖶𝗈𝗇𝖽𝖾𝗋 𝖶𝖺𝗍𝖾𝗋 (𝗆𝖺𝗀𝗂𝖼 𝗁𝖺𝗂𝗋 𝗆𝗈𝗂𝗌𝗍𝗎𝗋𝗂𝗓𝖾𝗋) https://amzn.to/2ZSKZbU ► 𝖲𝗎𝗇𝗍𝖺𝗇 𝖫𝗈𝗍𝗂𝗈𝗇 https://amzn.to/3GVe6N0 ► 𝖫𝗂𝗉 𝖱𝖾𝗉𝖺𝗂𝗋 (𝖿𝗂𝗑𝖾𝗌 ‘𝗌𝖺𝗅𝗍-damaged’ 𝗅𝗂𝗉𝗌 𝖺𝖿𝗍𝖾𝗋 𝖽𝗋𝗂𝗇𝗄𝗂𝗇𝗀 𝗆𝖺𝗋𝗀𝖺𝗋𝗂𝗍𝖺𝗌) https://amzn.to/3CsbLZY ► 𝖦𝖾𝗇𝖾𝗋𝖺𝗅 𝗅𝗂𝗇𝗄 𝗍𝗈 𝖠𝗆𝖺𝗓𝗈𝗇: https://amzn.to/3EJNoF0 🔔 𝗦 𝗨 𝗕 𝗦 𝗖 𝗥 𝗜 𝗕 𝗘 🔔 Don’t forget to Subscribe so you don’t miss the other videos on these spectacular resorts & add your questions and comments below!
