Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're going on your first cruise, let me save you from the rookie mistakes I absolutely suffered through on mine.

Put your phone on airplane mode the second you step on the ship. If not, your phone will quietly connect to the ship's roaming network, and you'll come home to a $400 phone bill.

Everyone thinks the buffet is the only free food. Wrong. The main dining room, cafes, grab-and-go spots, even some room service, all included.

Most ships have a hidden adults only area and it's the quietest, most peaceful place on board. No one talks about it because they don't want anyone else to find it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Put your phone on airplane mode immediately to avoid roaming charges.
Turn off automatic time change to prevent missing excursions.
Use the main dining room, cafes, and grab-and-go spots for included food.
Bring a cruise safe power cube due to limited outlets.
Explore hidden adults-only areas for peace and quiet.
