Things I’ll Never Do on a Cruise Again 🚢❌

After going on my 1st 🚢, these are the 3 things I will NEVER do again!

1. Forget About Sea 🌊 Sickness

✨ I usually never get sea sick, but ended up getting sick on our first night at sea and did not bring anything! Luckily I had a friend with me that had some patches to help with the nausea. Be sure to ALWAYS bring sea sickness patches, Dramamine, etc, just in case! You NEVER know! 🌊🚢☀️

2. Skip the Welcome Aboard Party

✨On every cruise, they usually have a party on the main deck with champagne, a DJ and dancing! I missed it the first time unpacking my suitcase and was SO sad I missed out!

3. Buy the WIFI Pass

✨Thinking I wanted to stay connected, I thought the $30 a day for WIFI and it was not worth it! The WiFi was spotty and you are SO busy that you do not need to stay connected. Instead, I tell family/friends/work I will be completely disconnected from service when I travel. It’s the best way to truly unplug and spend time with the people you are on the trip with!

... Read moreCruising can be an exhilarating experience, but learning from your first voyage can make all the difference for future travels. First, always prepare for sea sickness; it's unpredictable and can dampen your enjoyment. Bringing along remedies like Dramamine or sea sickness patches can be a lifesaver. Secondly, embrace the onboard activities, specifically the welcome parties. Missing such events can mean losing out on camaraderie and fun. Lastly, rethink purchasing the WiFi pass. While it seems appealing to stay connected, many travelers find that disconnecting allows for richer interactions and memories with fellow cruise-goers. Instead of spending time on your phone, immerse yourself in the experience and enjoy the company of those around you. Explore your cruise line's itinerary and plan to engage in onshore excursions and onboard entertainment, ensuring that you capture the joy and essence of cruising to its fullest!

Cruise Offers | How do you get them?
In order to receive my first offer, I spent roughly $300. After my first offer, they haven’t stopped coming and it’s the only way to cruise for me now. Won’t catch me spending $1000+ on a cruise ever again. #cruisetipsandtricks #cruisedeals #cruiseideas #vacationdeals #lemon8creator
