Creator's Key Takeaways

The very first point in what to expect on your very first cruise is to book the right cruise.

The Wi-Fi sucks because it's not the greatest.

I highly recommend that you always book through the cruise line.

Turn the cell phone onto airplane mode and don't turn off until you get home.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the right cruise based on your interest and budget.
Check what is included versus extra costs.
Print boarding pass single-sided and bring a passport.
Use the daily cruise planner or app to navigate the ship.
Book excursions through the cruise line for guarantee.
Turn phone to airplane mode to avoid roaming charges.
