Creator's Key Takeaways

First, prepay your gratuitities. Some people go to guest services to remove them, but that just creates drama.

Second, decide your drink plan before you sail. A few drinks a day, get the package.

Third, you don't need specialty dining on your first cruise. The main dining room is included and the food is fine.

Fourth, set a cash account. You don't need to use your credit card at all.
