Creator's Key Takeaways

we pay for all of our own cruises and we simply would rather take three cruises than Take One upscale Cruise

dress codes on most mainstream cruise lines for breakfast and lunch are very casual anything but a swimsuit is fine

I always have this random you know stack of ones and fives and I don't really count it out

ship noise varies so much from ship to ship the only time I have ever experienced any ship noise whatsoever has been when my state room was right by the um the the place where the anchor comes out of the ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

Budget $5 to $10 a day in singles and fives for tipping.
For breakfast and lunch, wear something comfortable; dress codes are very casual.
Check Cruise Critic's dining tab for specific ship dining information.
