Creator's Key Takeaways

I have a couple of questions that I'm going to need your help for, please, because they have to do with advice that people want, and I think your contributions are going to be helpful.

I definitely recommend booking your excursions before you get on the cruise ship in particular if you either don't know what you want to do or if you really want to do something in particular.

What has been my favorite cruise that I have ever done, ever, is a really long time. We've been cruising since 2004.

I did not book private excursions for years because of that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book excursions before getting on the cruise ship, especially if you don't know what you want to do or want something specific.
βœ“Choose an itinerary based on your preferred experience: Alaska for adventure, Caribbean for beaches, Mediterranean for sightseeing and history.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Boredom with same ports or ship activities β€” Find new things to do in ports and always discover new ship activities; production shows may be less engaging if not action-packed.
Booking excursions β€” Book excursions in advance, especially for specific activities, and consider independent providers for smaller groups.
