Top 7 Rookie Cruise Mistakes


1. Not Using a Travel Agent

• THE BIGGEST MISTAKE

• Costs you time and money.

• Will trigger other mistakes.

• Doesn’t cost you!


2. Choosing the Wrong Cruise Line & Ship

• You don’t know enough to know what to look for.

• Lead-in pricing can be misleading.

• Not all ships are the same - even within the same cruise line.

• Can’t believe everything you find on the internet!


3. Not Purchasing Travel Insurance

• Minimal cost. (5-6% cost of your trip)

• Eliminates stress from possible need to cancel or missed flights, lost luggage..

• You can’t rely on your regular insurance.


4. Not Planning Shore Excursions in Advance

• Plan before your cruise.

• Popular excursions will sell out.

• Know before you go.


5. Picking the Wrong Cabin

• Not all cabins within a category are the same. (both photos show ocean view)

• There are several subcategories within inside, ocean view and balcony stateroom categories.

• Where on the ship makes a difference. (deck, fwd, back)


6. Smuggling Alcohol

• Don’t try the vodka in water bottle trick.

• Check your cruise line’s policy for bringing onboard.

• Buy a drink package and enjoy!


7. Booking at the Last Minute

• Last minute does not equal best price.

• Can usually cancel 90 days prior with full refund.

• The best cabins have already been booked.
