Things We Will NEVER Do Again on a Cruise

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators share ten specific mistakes they have made during past cruises to help viewers save money and avoid disappointment. They advise against purchasing expensive shore excursions, suggesting that travelers plan their own independent trips using local transport and research to ensure a more authentic and affordable experience. To avoid crowds and higher prices, they recommend cruising outside of summer vacation periods. When selecting a cabin, they suggest reviewing deck plans to avoid noisy areas near entertainment venues or directly below the pool deck. The creators also suggest spreading activities across multiple days to avoid exhaustion and traveling to the port the day before departure to prevent missing the ship due to flight delays. Financial advice includes budgeting for onboard extras like specialty dining and Wi-Fi, as well as booking these services in advance to secure discounts. They warn about high cellular roaming charges at sea and suggest using airplane mode or ship Wi-Fi instead. Finally, they recommend taking the stairs for exercise and embracing every moment of the cruise to make lasting memories.
