Creator's Key Takeaways

I was surprised um but the answers I got when asking some of these questions to people that have either cruised or first time cruising was and shouldn't have been but was a surprise to me since I have already cruised some

trip insurance is another thing under this category that was asked a lot of me and I myself um recommend trip insurance however they are not all the same

I cannot tell you that you will or not will or will not um get seasick but when we were speaking before about where you want to be on the ship as far as not being in the front and not being in the back keep that in mind

I would recommend a cup um or something that you can um refill on the ship um because you can refill pretty much throughout the day

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid cabins near crew quarters, the front, back, or top of the ship to minimize noise and motion.
✓Use a passport card for closed-loop cruises if you're a US citizen, but consider a passport book for flexibility.
✓Check your onboard charges daily via the app or stateroom TV to avoid mistakes.
✓Pack a refillable cup, a small sweater or jacket, a rain jacket, and a battery-powered nightlight.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cost and what's included in a cruise — Cruise fares vary by line, cabin, and itinerary; they're listed per person based on two people. Not everything is included, like specialty dining or drinks.
Getting seasick — Choose a cabin in the middle of the ship to minimize motion; consider patches, bracelets, or over-the-counter medication, but try non-drowsy options.
Feeling claustrophobic — Ships are designed to feel open; even inside cabins are manageable, and you're never truly trapped.
Missing the ship during excursions — Set your watch to ship time and return at least 30 minutes early; the ship will leave if you're late.
