Creator's Key Takeaways

Do you know what the one bit of advice is that I always give new cruisers? They should seize the day.

I made the rookie error on our first ever cruise that we did. Well, I did um back years ago that we booked a cabin and unfortunately it was directly underneath the duty-free.

I would just suggest when you are looking at booking a cabin, don't just look at the the deck you're on.

I take one the night before I leave and then I take one every single night no matter what.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check deck plans above and below your cabin to avoid noise.
Book midship and low deck for stability and less motion.
Pack seasickness medication even if you don't think you'll need it.
Consider guaranteed cabins for short cruises if the price difference is small.
Look for cabins with balconies that can be opened between rooms.
