Creator's Key Takeaways

picking the wrong Cruise can ruin your cruise vacation wasting thousands of dollars on the wrong ship bad food or an overall bad vibe

we've been on Royal Caribbean and Norwegian and they also tend to have a lot happening late at night

virgin cruise lines and NCL the newer ships mostly have great solo cabin rooms so you won't have to spend extra money for a non-existent plus one

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider your cruise personality type (quiet vs. nightlife) when choosing a cruise line.
✓For adults-only, consider Virgin or Princess for a more sophisticated experience.
✓Avoid shorter cruises during college/high school breaks if you want a quieter atmosphere.
✓Bid up for a higher cabin grade to save money, as it can be a phenomenal experience.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not knowing different cruise lines and ships — Break down the options and figure out what is perfect for you based on personality and needs.
Picking the wrong cabin — Choose balcony for ocean serenity, window if balcony is pricey, or inside cabin if you won't spend much time in room.
Booking at the wrong time — Look for deals in the future, not last second, and take advantage of holiday sales like Black Friday.
