The Worst Royal Caribbean Advice You'll Get

Editorial Summary

Matt from Royal Caribbean Blogging examines several common pieces of cruise advice that he considers to be poor or misleading. He begins by addressing the idea that everyone should purchase a drink package, noting that travelers must consume enough beverages to break even on the upfront cost. He also challenges the notion that balcony rooms are a necessity, suggesting that the cost savings from an interior room can be used for other vacation experiences. Regarding family travel, the creator argues against the advice to avoid cruising with young children, highlighting the benefits of onboard children's programming and family bonding. He warns against booking same-day flights to avoid the risk of missing a cruise due to delays and strongly advises against attempting to remove gratuities, stating that crew members deserve their tips. Additionally, he recommends skipping onboard shopping seminars in favor of independent internet research and suggests using a travel agent to manage the complexities of booking. He concludes by encouraging travelers to do their own research rather than following every piece of advice they hear.
