If you're planning to embark on a cruise tour this summer, a cruise ship worker may have some smart tips to help you make the most of your trip.
Lucy Southerton, a cruise worker with nine years of experience, has shared on her YouTube channel some tips she learned from smart passengers to savor every moment of her cruise journey. daily mail reported.
It is always better to arrive early
While traveling on a cruise, Lucy said people should arrive at their cruise boarding destination two days before their scheduled departure to avoid becoming stranded.
He said the additional cost of a hotel is much cheaper overall than the cost of a potentially missed cruise.
Spend wisely
The 28-year-old cruise worker encouraged customers to spend wisely when choosing which type of cruise operator they would like to travel with among four main types of cruise lines.
These include massive cruise lines, premium cruise lines, small cruise lines, and ultra-luxury cruise lines.
He highlighted that booking with a budget operator can generate additional costs during the cruise trip.
Choose the right cabin
The cruise worker urged tourists to choose the cabin appropriate to their specific needs and requirements, preferably the one surrounded by other cabins, rather than the electrical outlets available to the public.
Southerton said you can “run the risk” of having a noisy neighbor, but it doesn't come close to being under the gym, nightclub or pool deck.
Book your vacation in advance to save money
Southerton said pre-booking certain aspects of the cruise can save money by getting discounts on beverage packages, dining experiences and shows.
You can get information about these discounts in cruise line magazines.
