as a travel advisor I have been on around 65 cruises not as many as some people but a lot of cruising nonetheless

remember when you call a travel adviser there is and should be no additional cost to work with them it doesn't cost you a penny more

stay on the ship's time this is going to be vitally important you're going to hear about it a lot and people make this mistake all the time
