Creator's Key Takeaways

We're building a cruise community. That's what we are doing.

If you can get it for 600 and under, book now.

The age of the ship is probably becoming less relevant.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Use Travel Calm the night before and every night to manage seasickness.
โœ“Book refundable airfare in advance, then wait for price drops before booking the cruise.
โœ“Use earbuds for video calls to maintain cruise etiquette.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Seasickness โ€” Take Travel Calm the night before and one tablet every night at bedtime.
Cruise etiquette โ€” Let people out of lifts first, don't press all buttons, and avoid loud phone conversations in public spaces.
Solo cruising โ€” Don't be scared; solo cruisers often meet people and have a great time.
