Creator's Key Takeaways

Avoid the buffet blunder. The moment boarding starts, 3,000 hungry people march straight to the buffet.

Bring that bottle to the dining room and they hit you with a $25 corkage fee.

If you're planning to cruise again, make sure to book while you're still on board.

Do not try to hook up with the crew. It's strictly against maritime employment laws.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use an old library card or business card instead of your key card to keep your cabin powered.
βœ“Bring a corkcrew and open wine in your room to avoid corkage fees.
βœ“Book spa treatments on port days for 20-30% discounts.
βœ“Pack a survival kit in your carry-on to enjoy the pool early on embarkation day.
βœ“Check CDC sanitation scores and DOT crime stats before booking.
