Thinking about booking a cruise? Here’s what I learned after years working on ships: 1) Not everything’s included—drinks, WiFi, and fancy dinners cost extra. 2) Seas can get rough depending on the season (hello, seasickness). 3) Port stops might be shorter than you think. 4) You might have to share dinner tables with strangers. 5) Docking time isn’t when you can actually get off. 6) You can’t keep alcohol you buy at ports. 7) There are surprise themed nights—pack accordingly! 8) Cabins aren’t always what you expect. 9) Gratuity is added automatically, but you can adjust it. #Travel #CruiseTips #TravelHacks
