Drink package on Royal. Buy it (because it could go up), and then watch for specials, cancel it, and buy it at the new price! I just redid ours on the Black Friday sale and saved 30%.

Haven't cruised since 2017 so this was very helpful to me even with being on approximately 10 cruises over the past 20 years. Sort of like being a newbie again. Retired now so I hope to begin the cruise journeys once again and must say, your video is by far, one of the best I've seen since all the YTs I've been watching lately on cruises. The more I watch, sometimes the more confusing it can get. I enjoyed the way you presented everything and will go back and watch your previous videos. Thank you!

#20 is the most important tip of this entire video. My brother needed emergency surgery, my parents had to stay behind to be with him. This was a planned family cruise to celebrate our nieces high school graduation. My husband, I & other family members continued on with our cruise. My parents had insurance & were fully refunded. Can’t stress enough how important the travel insurance is. We NEVER cruise without it. Thank you for these 20 tips!

YES!! And so many people think nothing will happen to them and they go without it 😢

I second the importance of travel insurance. The very first cruise I had booked was through Disney, and my dad died unexpectedly two weeks before the cruise. We were able to get a full refund. It would have been a real bummer to pay for the funerals cost and also losing out on thousands of dollars on a cruise HE was supposed to be on 😭

When our kids got to middle school age we started booking 2 adjoining indoor cabins instead of a balcony cabin. So much nicer to have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms than to squeeze into 1 balcony cabin (balcony gave us more room when they were younger, best was nap time when we could sit outside instead of try to be super quiet during nap time).

One more point on debit cards vs credit cards from a banker. Consumer fraud protections and transaction dispute timelines are much better with respect to credit cards.

@EECCTravels Ай бұрын

Very good point!

@bryansipes3601 Ай бұрын

I agree. Fraud protection is better with credit cards than debit cards. Our family has experience to back this up.

What cruise are you referring that serve lobster? Because I look at the specialty dining menus of NCL and there is an additional $25 to your account if you order lobster tail.

I was always cheap and skipped the travel insurance...and then a friend had her appendix burst on ship and ended up having emergency surgery in Jamaica of all places. She was smart enought to have insurance (and a passport) but it was really a scary situation for her.

How much approximately is the gratuity fee if prepaid...Just a ball park figure--you never mention a amount

@EECCTravels Күн бұрын

It will be the same prepaid as onboard. Cruise lines vary but you can estimate $15 per person, per day.

@Dave17101 Ай бұрын

What I do no like about the drink packages is that most drink packages with alcohol are either all in or nothing. So light drinkers may over indulge to get their money's worth. I like MSC's multi tier drink packages Don't mess with the tips because one crewmember may have rubbed you wrong. You'll be messing over the crew cleaning your towels and linens, sorting the trash and food waste, and other unappreciated tasks.

@77atbirth Ай бұрын

Going on my first cruise on RC and I was surprised how the drink packages work. I am trying hard to limit my alcohol intake, but enjoy some drinking on vacation. I can either spend a king’s ransom on a package or buy my drinks one at a time. I wish they had a middle ground alcohol package for people like me. Oh well, we’ll see how it goes!

How much is Travel Insurance cost approximately?

@EECCTravels Күн бұрын

This will depend on a lot of factors: Cost of the trip, age of the travelers, etc, So I can't really give an estimate. but it is 100% worth it!!

I wonderer about ship ecxursion. I have been only 2 times and first time, we had some beach ecxursion. When was time to leave, (this is my memory, not 100%true, if my memory gltiching) we come a several maybe some jeep or something. We didin't find our car (cars and drivers looks same to us xD) and then we saw one of car driving back, and it was our car and our driver :D They was leave without us. Just wonderer, if he wouldnt come back to pick up us, what would happend :D It was little stressfull, since it was our first time and i or my other half, we are not good at english (even that we have study it 6 years, but im never been good at school (and if someone wonder, no, english is not my language but its mandatory study grades 3-9).

NCL allows you to bring bottles of wine. HOWEVER, they charge more than the cost of most wines to bring it on! We found out the hard way! Loved the cruise but will never bring bottles on board again!

Yep I learned that a while back too. I found the cruise lines that include a drink package eliminate the carry on perk.

WTF, what are you doing to look so great these days? I’ve been noticing!!! you’ve lost a lot of weight! You look fantastic! I don’t know how you did it, but the keto diet worked for me ( better than anything else anyway ). And I know Jason‘s been on that before. Not sure if he’s still doing it. Or are you doing the “o”. ? I haven’t tried that yet. I’m too afraid. Also, like you, I was cursed with a disproportionate, but very large upper chest. We have a similar body type. I’m going to board the Margaritaville Islander for my birthday cruise tomorrow, but I’m going on the icon in February. I love all your content and I’ve been following you guys since Covid when you guys were at the Margaritaville resort in Mexico.
