Creator's Key Takeaways

We absolutely love cruising, but we don't always love spending a fortune to do it.

Our goal is to help you plan an amazing cruise without breaking the bank.

It really does come down to what do you want to spend, I think, more of your time on.

If you're looking to do a vacation cruise that's relaxing, um you want to go to the beach or you do want to just lay out by the pool, your ship is probably going to be the most important.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Decide if you want to relax by the pool or explore ports to choose the right ship and itinerary.
For relaxing cruises, consider newer ships with more pool deck space and activities.
For exploration-focused cruises, prioritize itineraries over ship amenities and consider older, budget-friendly ships.
If you don't know where to start, consult a travel advisor to plan based on what's most important to you.
