Today, we’re sharing 15 things that surprise new cruisers
If you’ve never been on a cruise before, there are some things that might surprise you. Boarding a cruise ship is a unique event for a new cruiser that can bring with it many exciting experiences. Some of these can leave lasting impressions, and forever change your perception of ocean vacations. We will never forget our first Princess cruise together. So many fun, and memorable new discoveries. These things are yet more reasons to conclude there is nothing like cruising. We’ll do our best to share, and explain these unique surprises, but in the end these things are best experienced first hand.

Here’s what people are saying about the CruiseTipsTV Unplugged Podcast
- Love it!!!
April 14, 2021 by Big Al Sams from United StatesNew listener to the Podcast, subscribed and I love it. Binged a few episodes; the more I listened, the more I liked it! I love the interaction between the both of you, and even Junior when he comes on. The positivity is real and authentic, like you enjoy being on the ships and want others to experience what you love about cruising. Love the education on the different cruise lines (I’ve been a #CarnivalKid for a while but I really want to branch out), and what to bring and how to pack light for a cruise was very informative. Also I checked out the vaccine episode. I know it wasn’t easy to talk about something so polarizing, but the way you talked about it as NOT taking a political side, but something that was necessary for your family to weigh the options and make a decision together was a courageous move, in my opinion. Definitely want to be like y’all when I grow up; a family that loves cruising, very knowledgeable, very active, most of all, very friendly. Well done guys! Keep it up! Gonna subscribe on your YouTube channel as well. Big Al Sams
- Quality info with a positive attitudeApril 14, 2021 by ragazza from United States
I’ve watched CCTV on YouTube and listened to this podcast for a few years, and the commitment to provide help and information to the cruising community is admirable. In these times, it’s nice to have friendly voices like theirs sharing feelings, stories, and tips about a shared and missed pastime. Thank you for your honesty and integrity in the latest ep, CCTV fam!
- You guys are so adorableApril 14, 2021 by Coplaco13 from Canada
Hello Cruise Tips Tv, I just wanted to send love to you both. Thank you for the great episodes each week. I drive for a living and look forward to Wednesday’s. Our family has chosen to get the vaccine as well. We decided for two reasons, one my grandmother lives with us and I feel it’s our responsibility to help keep her safe. Second, WE LOVE TO CRUISE lol and being Canadian I know we won’t be able to travel without it. Keep up the great work and hopefully one day soon we will be back at sea.
