Creator's Key Takeaways

I consider myself a knowledgeable cruiser. However, Sherry and her husband are just so awe inspiring. I learn something new with each podcast.

The only exception to that and one that you might actually want to take advantage of Faren is that Holland America has this standby program that you because you live in Miami can actually participate in

We always have to wait until a port day, go off of the ship Wi-Fi, and upload our YouTube videos using our AT&T.

My favorite sail away is still probably San Francisco because you know that that uh moment when you go under the Golden Gate and you see the fog rolling down those hills. It is stunning.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider Holland America's standby program for discounts if you live near a port.
✓Use an annual private travel insurance plan for comprehensive medical coverage.
✓Purchase the highest level of Wi-Fi on the ship for better connectivity, but manage expectations.
✓Wear a swimsuit and use towels in the sauna for comfort and etiquette.

Intimidation about gym etiquette — Wear a swimsuit in saunas, use towels, and avoid hogging machines; walking the promenade is a good alternative.
