Creator's Key Takeaways

the majority of it is so that's something you would have to pay extra for if you went into a hotel or a traditional type of land-based accommodation

check out the destination that's on offer so you've been given this list of options check out the destinations in there are they the sort of places you want to go to

we would always recommend that people take out travel insurance if nothing else for the fact that you do not get Medicare benefits whilst on board a ship

make sure that everybody is happy with those arrangements because you only need one person it seems to be especially on board a cruise that isn't happy with with what's going on
