Creator's Key Takeaways

We have 30 team members. We've been in business since, well, I've been in business since 1986, but we went storefront back in 2006.

If you're thinking about doing something, just put a deposit. It's $250. So do not wait because you're not going to get what you want.

We are definitely high on the food chain when it comes to cruises. I mean, we're having our best year ever.

You pay one price and you get everything. You don't have to pay extra for internet. You don't have to pay extra for your top shelf alcohol.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book your cruise early, as availability is limited and prices are increasing.
βœ“Take a picture of your luggage for easy identification.
βœ“Consider a deposit of $250 to secure your booking.
βœ“For Sandals and Beaches, take advantage of the consumer day pass if on a cruise.
