CRUISE EXPERTS' TOP TIPS

USE THESE TIPS TO MAKE YOUR NEXT SAILING HOLIDAY EVEN BETTER

Planning on going on a cruise? Whether it’s your first voyage or you’re a seasoned sailor, there are a few unwritten rules that only seasoned cruisers might know. These tips will help you save money, save stress and save you time…

1 DON'T WAIT BOARD TO BOOK EVERYTHING IN

On land and at sea, the early bird gets the worm, so it's important to plan ahead. Be sure to get on your cruise line's website after you've booked and secure the renowned shore excursions, that spa treatment, and that table with a view at the specialty restaurant. If you wait until you board, there's a good chance it could be too late.

2 ABOUT SEASICKNESS? BOOK

A MID-SHIP CABIN
