A world cruise can be anywhere from 90 to 180 days stopping at tons of destinations.
Make sure that you're organized with your passports and your visas and that they don't expire.
Travel insurance can get quite expensive. Yeah. Well, you know what? Some cruises... can run you up to $200,000 for a couple.
Don't overpack. Yes, you're going for a long time... but you know what? If uh you have one tuxedo and a couple suits, that's enough for formal nights.
