Timothy Bird+FollowCruise Port Canceled? Here’s What to ExpectIf you booked a Royal Caribbean cruise for the beaches of Labadee, Haiti, you might want to check your email. The cruise line just dropped this popular stop from 23 trips through October due to safety concerns. Instead, some cruises will swap in another sunny port, but others just get an extra day at sea. So, if your dream port vanishes, pack extra sunscreen and enjoy more poolside time! #Business #RoyalCaribbean #CruiseTips142Share
Dr. Michael Henson+FollowCruise Secrets I Wish I Knew SoonerThinking 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 #TravelHacks4311Share
wmadden+FollowBalcony Door Drama on Carnival Cruises?Turns out, sleeping with your balcony door open on a Carnival cruise is totally fine—just don’t let it slam or annoy your neighbors! Carnival’s Brand Ambassador John Heald set the record straight: leaving your door open only affects your own AC, not anyone else’s. But don’t drag your mattress outside (big no-no), and keep the noise down—Bluetooth speakers are banned now. Oh, and no smoking or hanging laundry out there either. Basically: enjoy the ocean breeze, but play nice! #CarnivalCruise #CruiseTips #TravelEtiquette #Home4141Share
Alexander Thomas+FollowCruise Mistakes Even Pros Make!After 25+ cruises, I’ve seen it all—don’t be that person who misses the boat because you flew in the same day! Always arrive early, book excursions ASAP, and check if your cruise is actually all-inclusive (hidden fees are real). Pack light, bring cash, and buy wine by the bottle (servers will save leftovers!). Travel insurance is a must, and pick a cruise that actually fits your vibe. Trust me, these tips save time, money, and stress! #CruiseTips #TravelFails #VacationHacks #Travel00Share
Annette Jones+FollowRoyal Caribbean’s Sneaky Drink Price HikeDid you hear Royal Caribbean just bumped up cocktail prices to $15? That means their Deluxe Beverage Package (DBP) now covers pricier drinks, but it also changes the math for anyone debating if the package is worth it. If you’re a cocktail lover, this could tip you into buying the DBP—or make you rethink it if you’re not a big drinker. Either way, check those prices before you set sail! #RoyalCaribbean #CruiseTips #TravelNews #Food10Share
Kelly Mack+Follow4 Cruise Prep Hacks That Saved My TripBooked my first Carnival cruise to Alaska and these 4 prep moves were game-changers: 1) Printed my boarding pass for smooth check-in (seriously, don’t skip this). 2) Slapped on luggage tags at home—no scrambling at the port. 3) Snagged add-ons (like Wi-Fi and excursions) early online for sweet discounts. 4) Hit up a grocery store for my fave soda and wine—way cheaper than ship prices.

Brad Ramirez+FollowCruise Hacks That Actually WorkEver heard of ordering multiple entrees at dinner or splitting your bed to make your tiny cruise cabin feel bigger? Sounds wild, but these Royal Caribbean hacks are total game-changers. Skip the crowds by staying on the ship during port days (hello, empty pools!), and bring magnetic hooks for extra storage—trust me, you’ll thank yourself later. Oh, and snap pics of crew name tags so you can shout them out later. These tips might sound odd, but once you try them, you’ll never cruise the same way again! #CruiseTips #RoyalCaribbean #TravelHacks #CruiseLife #VacationGoals #Travel50Share
Brooke Martin+FollowRoyal Caribbean’s Drink Hack Just Got BetterHeads up, cruise fans! Royal Caribbean just made its mid-tier drink package way more appealing by finally adding nonalcoholic beer to the mix. So if you’re skipping booze but still want something fancier than soda or coffee, you’re covered. Unlike Carnival, which makes you go all-in or nothing, Royal lets you pick a package that fits your vibe. Next time you’re poolside, you can sip your favorite zero-proof brew without extra charges! Cheers to more choices! #CruiseTips #RoyalCaribbean #TravelHacks #MoneyLifehacks #DrinkSmart #Business20Share
Alexander Thomas+FollowAre Cruise Excursions Worth It?Ever wondered if you really need to splurge on cruise excursions? Turns out, tons of cruisers say skipping them can be a total win—especially if you’re on a budget. Some folks love exploring ports on their own (hello, local eats and hidden gems!), while others just chill on the ship and enjoy the empty pools. But if you do go DIY, don’t lose track of time—nobody wants to be a pier runner! Bottom line: do what feels right for you, and your cruise will be epic either way. #CruiseTips #TravelHacks #BudgetTravel #CruiseLife #VacationGoals #Travel20Share
