How to pick the perfect cruise (without the overwhelm) Most people see a deal and book. Then spend the whole week wishing something was different. 10 minutes of honest thinking before you book changes everything. Step 1: Know your vibe Spa days? Port hopping? Family fun? Pool cocktails? Write down your top 3 must-haves and use that as your compass. Step 2: Ship first or itinerary first? Love the on-board experience? Pick your ship, let the ports be the bonus. Want to see somewhere specific? Pick the destination, then find a ship that gets you there. Step 3: Get your dates right Short on time? 3–5 nights. Want a proper holiday? 7–9 nights. Want to really switch off? 10+. Season matters too, especially if you are travelling with kids or chasing a deal. Step 4: Pick the right cabin Inside, oceanview, balcony, suite… Mid-ship is more stable. Check what is above and below you before you confirm. Step 5: Think about who is coming Solo, couple, family, group, each one needs something different from a cruise.

Where is everyone from? I am from New Brunswick, Canada. Do you fly or drive to your ports? Closest port is about 8-10 hours away, Boston, but we usually fly into Florida!

I’m sure I seen that you’ve got some sort of gigsky affiliate link, but I can’t seem to find it. I’m just wondering whether you can share it.

I'm considering gong on a group cruise from Port Canaveral on MSC Seashore. It isn't till early October so I have time to decide. I have never cruised MSC though they often come up on the lower end cost wise. I've heard mixed reviews, mostly on YouTube. Was wondering if anyone in this community has experience on their ships leaving from US ports. I'm aware of the general pro's and con's. I'm also aware they seem to be different sailing from EU ports than US ports. So really just trying to get a first hand opinion from someone that has sailed them on a closed loop US sailing? If you can compare them to other lines even better? If you're like me and have never sailed them, please share what your reservations are about sailing on them if you have any?

Since this is mostly an RCL group :)...My next cruise is Star of the Seas Nov 29th sailing
