Creator's Key Takeaways

Yes, cruise ships are generally safe. I know we've all seen the Titanic, which was literally from before we were born.

Carnival is definitely if you're here to party, you just want to party, you just want to have fun, you don't care at the cost.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Pay taxes, fees, and gratuities upfront during checkout to avoid confusion.
βœ“Bring comfortable walking shoes, sneakers, cute shoes for dinner, and a formal outfit for one night.
βœ“Consider a drinking package if you plan to have more than five to six drinks a day.
βœ“Use a power strip for charging devices, but don't bring valuables you don't want stolen.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Safety of cruise ships β€” Cruise ships are statistically one of the safest ways to travel, with advanced technology and regular inspections.
Need for a passport β€” You don't need a passport for closed-loop itineraries starting and ending at the same port, but you do if starting in another country.
Getting seasick β€” Take Dramamine, use stabilizers, or visit the medical center for a patch; bigger ships are less likely to cause seasickness.
