Creator's Key Takeaways

when you are used to a certain cruise line and what they have to offer, you can't go to a different cruise line with the mindset and the expectation for them to have what you're used to.

Get on YouTube, type in the ship that you are interested in before you book it. Get a nice feel for it. get a walkthrough tour, get a layout of the ship before you book it.

at that point, the only thing I could tell you is pay somebody to do that for you, which would be investing in a good travel agent.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Research ships on YouTube to see walkthrough tours and layouts before booking.
✓Invest in a good travel agent if you do not have time to do your own research.
