Creator's Key Takeaways

I've personally cruised with multiple brands. I paid cash for some. I've used points for others.

Personally, I'm more looking to float from one cool destination to the next.

After about 2 days, I get so bored at all-inclusives.

Virgin Voyages is actually my personal favorite cruise line by far.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book all-inclusives with points using Hyatt's fixed award chart for better value.
βœ“Consider Virgin Voyages for booking cruises with points at decent redemption values.
βœ“Ask yourself what type of trip you want before deciding between cruise or all-inclusive.

So let's break down everything you need to know before you book that next trip, including the pros and cons of each, which is best for different types of travelers and of course cost considerations, including which one will give you not only better value on your money but how you could book both using points saving you thousands of dollars!
