Creator's Key Takeaways

We always seem to forget our mics. We do forget our mics every time.

Cruises are Definitely a privilege. Not everybody gets to go on cruises.

I hate the elevators. I have complained about the elevators a lot.

If you could afford that, but when you look at the price difference, everybody has a budget.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use stairs instead of waiting for elevators to avoid crowds and get exercise.
✓Book excursions through third-party companies for better prices, but ensure they have a guarantee to get you back on time.
✓Consider removing automatic gratuities and tipping staff in cash for better control.
✓Think of an inside cabin as a bedroom only, not a living space.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Overcrowding on ships — It's a common complaint, but remember you're on a cruise and can find less crowded areas.
Hidden costs like gratuities and specialty dining — Remove automatic gratuities and tip in cash if preferred, and be aware of extra charges for activities.
Cabin size and comfort — Consider upgrading to a balcony or suite if possible, and use the cabin mainly for sleeping.
