Creator's Key Takeaways

the first thing that may surprise you on your first cruise is that most most staterooms the room that you stay in uh or they call them cabin sometimes and the bathrooms that go with them are much smaller than you'd see in a typical hotel

the crew members may actually remember and call refer to you by your name yeah um again and again whether it's your state room attendant or the surfer in the restaurant they will say your name

there are way more passengers than the pool or pools can accommodate so if you picture yourself going on a cruise ship and swimming in the pool lounging in the pool with a drink uh you know just kind of having your own paradise and it you may be surprised

there's plenty plenty of food and activities that are included uh some people performance free but they're included once you pay your fare yeah uh plenty for you to eat

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check if your cruise line does the muster drill in a modern way, as some still use the old version.

✓Go to the adult pool area for less crowding.

✓Don't pack beach towels; you can get them for free on board.

✓Ask for the secret off-menu taco salad at Blue Iguana Cantina.

Small cabin size — Expect smaller rooms than hotels, especially interior cabins.

Safety drill — Participate in the muster drill; it's mandatory.

Pool access — Use adult pool areas for less crowding or wait until port days.
