I always fly down the day before because I almost missed my ship when my flight was delayed! Never again.. I’ll always fly down the day before lol

Another piece of advice is to make sure you have a couple of days worth of close in a carry on bag on the flight to the cruise. Nothing worse than your checked luggage getting lost by the airlines and the only clothes you have for 5 or 6 days is the close you are wearing

Not long ago, I was in the hospital with pneumonia. My roommate had actually been on a cruise from I believe San Diego to Alaska. Well, during dinner 1 night, she inhaled a piece of food somehow. The dr and nurses on the ship did what they could but as soon as they could dock she was taken by helicopter to the closest airport and flown to where I live. The dr actually was contacting hospitals to find the nearest 1 that could take care of her. Also, I regards to mace. Women, hairspray in the eyes can be just as effective and if you smoke, a steady stream of hairspray with a lighter put to it could easily kill someone. There are so many weapons close at hand that people don't think of.

These two should have a TV show!!!! Absolutely awesome entertaining and fun couple!!!! Can’t wait to Cruse with you guys!!!!!

I’ll be on it Jan 8th!

On my last cruise, our neighbor was smoking on their balcony and it made my room fill up with the smell of cigarettes. It was disgusting and couldn't enjoy our balcony. I then HAD to say something to employees because I wasn't about to be charged for my room smelling nasty.

Great advice! I’m glad you showed up on my feed and I will be following your page! My family loves cruising! I’ve been on 5, my mom has been on over 50! One rule we always follow is to get to the port area one day in advance and book a no frills hotel. We board the ship less stressed the next day and if there are any flights delays, we’ve built in an extra day of time. It leaves us less stressed than traveling the day of especially since we live in Wisconsin and winters can be harsh! I also go online and look at old cruise compasses and study the ships layout prior to boarding. I can’t wait until our next cruise! Covid go away please 🙏🏾🤣

Planning our first family cruise this summer ! Thanks for the tips !

I agree with this whole list especially being late. Some people think that saying the ship will leave you if you’re late is just a scare tactic to get you back on time and it’s not. They will and they do leave people if you’re late and then it’s the guest’s responsibility to get to the next port and at their own expense.

Hey King & Queen! Great cruise advice. I work for Carnival and many of your tips are listed on the cruise website but people don't read the site. Thank you so much for emphasizing these tips! You guys are on point...informative and entertaining! Getting to the pier location a day early is imperative if travelers are coming from another state... 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💯💯💯👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

I work in the cruise industry and your advice is good for most lines. Some have different rules about what you are allowed to bring aboard, but overall great advise. Only thing I would add is travel with a passport if possible. The cruise line might not require a passport but you might not be able to fly home from one of the ports if (God forbid, but it happens more then you think) you have a family emergency. 👍🏽

Never book a return flight earlier than 1pm, the later in the afternoon you book your return flight, the better. Then if your ship is delayed getting back to port, you are not in a hurry to get to the airport and less likely to miss your flight. I actually think 1pm is cutting it too close.

Bear spray, leave it at home. So if you are in Alaska, fishing, touring, camping prior to your cruise, donate your bear spray (recommended for the prior activities) to whoever you can. Fishing, give it to the guide, boy or Girl Scouts, just don’t expect to take it with you on your cruise. Real life experience. My dad was ticked off about that. At least they didn’t treat it like a purposeful violation, since it was reasonable to not see bear spray as a “weapon.”

We just booked our 9th and 10th cruises. I have watched many cruise videos and yours are the best I have watched! Entertaining and informational! Very practical and real!

I would never thought about travel insurance before but with covid or any other medical problems it's better to have insurance. What if you get robbed or in an accident while overseas? Best to have insurance coverage and not need it then to pay out the ass for care later or find a way to pay or replace lost or stolen items.

Your videos are packed with useful information & helpful tips, and they are fun! We have a cruise coming up and we feel so much better prepared thanks to ya'll.

Never be RUDE to all the hard working staff on the cruise, they are there to take care of you YES however be NICE cause if you piss off the crew you may find that your cruise isn't nearly as enjoyable ie if your a rude PITA to the crew then you may miss out on an surprise upgrade or if you suddenly want to book a last min activity the crew talk among themselves and you may find that it is suddenly filled.

Super informative and practical! Thank you!

Planning my 1st Cruise, appreciate all the information that you give.... Salute.....

Great video. New subscriber. The muster drill on Holland America was quick and easy. They told us if you didn’t report they would find you and remove you prior to departure so skipping it was not an option unless you didn’t plan to cruise after paying. Also it was my first cruise outside of the intros I attended in NY as a travel agent years ago and I didn’t realize that taking the ginger ale from the in room frig we would still be charged for even though we replaced it. We had unlimited drinks. It was a crazy charge like $10. Another issue was I bought alcohol on the ship you can only buy outside of the United States. We booked our hotel for two days prior and 3 days after the cruise. I wasn’t going to be able to take it on the plane. Had to pay to ship it UPS and it was not cheap. USPS wouldn’t ship it. I would also like to stress the importance of travel insurance. My partner became ill on the plane from NY to Seattle where we embarked. I almost left him at the hotel. Sorry Pop but losing $4k wasn’t palatable to me. He was the one who refused to pay for the insurance. There was noro virus on our ship. And I might add they did an excellent job of cleaning and keeping us safe and only two people tested positive. But one woman they though had it was removed at one port tested neg and was helicoptered back to the ship at the next port. Juneau to Sitka I believe. And IT DIDN'T COST HER A PENNY!
