Creator's Key Takeaways

I did something that I have never done before I booked a last-minute cruise on a cruise line that I have not sailed with in over a decade

I am pretty excited about that cruise and if you do see me on board please do say hello

I absolutely love answering a lot of your questions from the travel questions and the cruise questions to the questions that are a little bit more personal

I definitely do recommend that and St Lucia is absolutely beautiful

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book several months to a year in advance for summer break, spring break, or holidays, especially if you can't drive to your cruise port.
โœ“Calculate the value of all-inclusive packages for yourself, as they may not be worth it for everyone, especially if cruising on a budget.
โœ“If you have rude table mates on a cruise, speak to the Maitre D' to change tables or steer the conversation another way.
