Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book cruises as far in advance as possible, sometimes even a year out, for better cabin selection and deals.
βœ“Wave season (January through April) is a good time to book a cruise for aggressive discounts.
βœ“Do not put a combination lock on your suitcase until you know how to use it.
βœ“For Alaska, consider a southbound or northbound itinerary to maximize port times and see more glaciers.
βœ“For Carnival, you can carry on cans of soda and two bottles of wine, but no plastic bottles; bottled water can be purchased and delivered to your room.
