Creator's Key Takeaways

I think it was brilliant. Um, I'm obviously biased. I'm always looking out for more cruises and more options for families and especially my family.

We don't actually let our kids take their phones on cruises with them.

I normally do get the package so I can drink more and then uh yeah, I just don't care.

Book as early as possible. Um, if you if you're just after a cabin for two people, then you can afford to leave it to the last minute and maybe try and pick up something cheap. But if you need a cabin for three, for four, for five, I mean for five, you need to be booking when the when the cruises go on sale.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book as early as possible, especially for larger cabins.
Consider all-inclusive packages for families to manage costs.
Use shared Wi-Fi packages on ships to save money.
Match the ship's atmosphere to your family's personality.
