Should You Take A Cruise Vacation?
Cruises are usually a “YES I LOVE THEM or NO, THEY AREN’T FOR ME” travel topic! Meggan is not really a fan of cruises, while Jenn is. We talk about our own cruise experiences and really dive into what a cruise is, how to book one, tips while on board, how to take excursions, what is included, what you can expect and why it may or may not be for you! The idea of cruising in these times is really up in the air, but as things start to slowly head back to normal, consider this episode as your guide to making that cruising decision!
