Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Look into travel insurance to protect your vacation investment
✓Fly into town the day before your cruise to avoid missing it due to flight delays
✓Prepay gratuities, excursions, specialty dining, and beverage packages to save money
✓Bring a selection of small bills for tipping and use the envelope method for port days
✓Be aware of additional charges for onboard activities, shopping, and private islands

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Gratuities charge can be surprising — Prepay gratuities before your cruise or expect them to be added to your onboard account
Excursions can sell out if not booked early — Book excursions prior to your cruise on the cruise line's website
