I now have a few cruises under my belt and, in fact, just got back from one last week! Today I'm sharing 5 things I wish I'd known before my first cruise and I hope some of it helps you whether you're heading out on your first cruise or your 20th! I'm also sharing details of my upcoming cruise adventure which is less than a month away. I'm so glad you're here!

Headed on my 1st cruise in 2 weeks. Had breast cancer and I'm finally cancer free. Ready to cruise. Stressing about money but our cruise is paid for and I dont plan on spending extra

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

Wow what a wonderful thing to celebrate and what a great way to do it!!!!!!! I hope you have a wonderful trip, Carla!🥰🥰🥰

@carolineheller8152 4 года назад

Congratulations to you. I’m wishing you the best of health for years and years to come. Enjoy your cruise!

@JenniferPerryMyScraproom 4 года назад

It can be done. My mother only spent and extra $6.00 on her first cruise and she had a blast!

@donnamanitu8372 4 года назад

Since retiring we are traveling quite a bit so what has really helped me is a packing list. My husband also has a house list for a shut down of water in the winter, turn the furnace down etc.

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

That’s very smart, Donna!

My cruise tip: If possible, pay for things like WIFI, specialty dining, drinks package, gratuities, etc. before your cruise & you can have almost everything paid for before you go!

@triciachristensen3242 4 года назад

Have my first cruise coming up and I’m thrilled that you did this video. They’re all such good tips, but the “be able to handle all of your luggage by yourself is crucial” tip is perfect for me. I found out the hard way in my travels in Europe that keeping your stuff close to you is imperative...lesson learned.

@JenniferPerryMyScraproom 4 года назад

And make sure that you actually have the bag with the passports in it. My SIL, her family and my in-laws were all going to the Galapagos. As they were loading up she told her son to grab her carry on bag. He did not hear her and she did not realize that he did not hear her. Needless to say when they made it to the airport and realized NO ONE had their passports and the airport was almost an hour away it was not good. Someone drove home and grabbed the bag, while I SIL rebooked the flight that they were going to miss. That was a lesson learned even for my seasoned traveling family.

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

Oh my word that's horrible!!! So glad they got it worked out so they didn't have to cancel their trip!

@ginacampbell2486 4 года назад

Hey Jen! Looking forward to hearing about your Viking cruise. I've never been on a river cruise before. I'm very excited as my countdown to my Disney Dream cruise is 43 days (including a 2 night pre-stay at Disney). I've learned a lot since my first cruise in 2000. It wasn't until a few years ago I discovered clips for beach towels lol still learning 😊Really enjoy your tip videos and of course packing. Have a great day

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

Thanks, Gina! Actually this is their ocean cruise not the river one - but yes hope to do that some day as well!

@kathimontigny-bold691 4 года назад

Great advice and spot on!! I'm so excited for your upcoming trip. Hubby loved Disney cruise line and I can't wait to hear your honest opinion on Viking. We definitely see more cruising in our future and want to know if we should branch out from Disney. We had sticker shock of our bill in end!!! If was a great time though. 😁

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

Yes I know it’s going to be a very different experience but that’s not a bad thing right?? And yeah sticker shock at the end of a vacation is no fun.😳🤣

@kaylaandmarkalan 4 года назад

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

That would be amazing, Jenny!

@mikedonley1287 4 года назад

We've been the Magic for a Mediterranean cruise, the Dream for the Caribbean, and 2 Viking River cruises (part 1 and part 2 of the Danube). We've found that each exciting cruise is unique. We were surprised to see how many people on Disney cruises used their DVC points on the Magic (yeah, we know it's not the best use of points) and one couple said that's only what they use their points for. I can't understand why anyone would want to give you the "thumbs down" on this video. Your vlogs are never offensive, always helpful, and just plain/plane fun to watch.

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

Well Thank You, Mike! I am super excited to try Viking Sea and their River Cruises are on my list as well. 🥰🥰🥰

@karamarie6878 4 года назад

Great tips, especially for someone like myself who has never cruised. I would never have guessed bottled water wouldn't have been included. Hmm.. good to know! I'm looking forward to more videos in this top 5 series.

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

It really depends on the cruise line so it definitely pays to do your homework! And I’m excited about it too - already have a whole page of ideas!

@teamcuddles6074 4 года назад

Thanks for another fun, informative video! Great tips! I really like this format - I watched another youtubers vlog that had a similar format and I think it's really a good fit for a channel like this. I enjoy the informative narration, with pics/video from the cruise interspersed. The editing was seamless on this one! Once again your advice transcends...I don't have to eat all the things!!! Gotta remember that one here! 😂 Can't wait to see some vlogs with your momma! I hope you'll be able to get some historical insight from her in terms of how different travel is for her now vs back in the day. I LOVED the video you did with her about her time as a flight stewardess. Have a lovely rest of your weekend!!!

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

I like this style as well so THANK YOU!! It always means a lot to me when my “regulars” chime in like that, Caitlin! I truly value your input.🥰🥰🥰

@melissamiller2992 4 года назад

Oh last time it was even higher as we did a few spa treatments. It’s easy to do!!

@tawnyamahaffey2377 4 года назад

You are right about not wanting the unexpected bill at the end of the cruise after everything else is “paid for”! Knowing what isn’t covered and or checking your bill every few days will save that shock at the end! Thank you for the great tips!

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

I have to admit I wasn’t all that shocked - I did have a lot of Prosecco!🤣🤣🤣

@tawnyamahaffey2377 4 года назад

Joyful Living with Jen Lefforge 🤣🤣 I know for us that use to happen at Disney if we didn’t look at our bill every few days - sometimes those extras can be sneaky

@kellym5231 4 года назад

Your top five brings back lots of Disney cruise memories. By day 4, the big, lavish dinners begin to lose their luster for me. If we have great servers, it’s about interacting with them rather than trying snails or having another big meal. I drink diet, caffeine free soda, which they only SELL by the can on the ship, it’s not at the beverage station on the pool deck. Have to bring my own. Biggest grrr: burning through the free tiny WiFi package with app updates that happened automatically. Now I turn them off before I leave. As soon as I get my cruise document booklet, I put my passport in the pocket inside the cover. Helped me out many times. Time to countdown to your November cruise...let the repacking begin!

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

Yeah the WiFi guy and I basically became best friends during my week on the ship. 🤣🤣🤣

@jessicas9136 4 года назад

Still waiting to take my first cruise! My husband is finally on board, it's just figuring out logistics. Thanks for the tips.

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

They’re pretty basic but important!! Hope you get that cruise on the schedule soon!

@cwdefouw 4 года назад

All good tips for cruisers. You will love cruising on a smaller ship. You will make many more friends because you see and interact with the same people every day. We found the Silversea cruise that we did (300 guests) was one of the most enjoyable of the 24 cruises that we have been on mostly for that reason. We leave for our next cruise on November 15th, not on a small ship this time though. This ship is the largest in the world! We will see how it goes. Looking forward to videos on your Viking cruise!

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

Scott and I have considered Silversea, Chris, so I love hearing your positive review of them!

@GingerNinja4769 4 года назад

Our first Disney cruise on the Wonder, was also our first cruise ever... we inadvertently spent $100 on San Pellegrino over the 7 night itinerary. I enjoyed the bubbles, but the cost per bubble was a bit much. Lesson learned 😉

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

Yeah ridiculous! I have no problem spending the money but it’s when you lose track that it can get annoying.

@shelleynorthrop9276 4 года назад

I just got back from a 4 night DCL trip and I really want to remember/analyze what I didn't take out of my suitcase and try to remember not to bring it again for this kind of vacation. On a cruise there are usually so many activities going on that we didn't need any of our usual entertainment items (i.e. ipads for movies, handheld gaming devices for the kids, etc.) and it just made our luggage heavier. I also could have eliminated at least 2 outfits for each person and been fine, laundry on board is pretty quick and easy. I am a terrible overpacker and I want to be better. I should probably just buy a smaller suitcase and work with that instead. Thanks for the videos Jen, they are so helpful!

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

I hope you guys had a great cruise! Yes it helps to be more disciplined if you start worth a smaller suitcase to begin with. That’s my hope for this next trip!

@kelleydisney31 4 года назад

These are great tips Jen. For myself, I would say get to all activities about 20 minutes before it starts. We just went on the Fantasy and everything got SO busy as events got going. Avoid the majority of the crowds by getting there early 😊

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

Great tips, Kelley!!

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

@brat32179 4 года назад

PREACH managing your own luggage. That’s a good travel rule in general. If you’re you know you’ll need two bags, I recommend using a duffle for the soft clothing and your suitcase for the rest. Set the duffle on your suitcase and secure with the straps over the handle. Now you can manage all you luggage with one hand and have another arm free.

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

Seriously for safety reasons and just plain old fashioned convenience it’s so important! Nobody wants to start or end their vacation with a messed up shoulder or back because of their luggage!

@OURHAPPYPLACE 4 года назад

Great tips with the luggage. It can become very frustrating traveling if you find yourself in a position with more then you can manage.

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

And it's one of those things everyone thinks isn't going to happen to them! BTW, LaGuardia omg seriously? What a mess!

@OURHAPPYPLACE 4 года назад

@okbookgirl 4 года назад

I recently went to NYC for a week. I always carry my Passport as a secondary ID so I remembered it, but forgot the tickets to the two B’way shows I was seeing 🤦‍♀️. Luckily I realized during my layover in CHI and had the contact info in my emails on my phone, so I could call to request replacements. But it’s a good reminder to have a list of docs/physical items and get it in the bag.

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

It’s just so easy to forget things like that especially since so much is electronic now! So glad you were able to work it out.

@cindyellacott102 4 года назад

Over-packing is still a struggle for me even though I say that I've learned my lesson every time 😜Can you pre-purchase a beverage package on Disney Cruises? My biggest fear is forgetting my passport, insurance card, or wallet!

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

They have a wine package but not sure about a full beverage package - I’m sure you can! And yes I’m going to try to be very good about my packing for the 10 nights!

@Lucretiaseesall 4 года назад

Wonderful video as always! Question, my concern about cruises in general, the feeling of claustrophobia and sea sickness. Did either or both affect you? If so, how did you handle it?

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

Thankfully I don’t get seasick but a lot of those on the ship who suffer from it were wearing a patch that is supposed to work wonders! And for the claustrophobia I prefer a veranda if I can get one - having access to fresh air goes a long way and is often worth the extra expense if you’re worried about that.🥰

@kimt8162 4 года назад

I so agree about the luggage. I packed two large and on small one for me and my daughter. For me to handle those two large bags was well, almost more than I can handle. Next time, I vowed to NOT PACK any food to lighten the loads. I tried to pack snacks, a couple bottled waters, a skillet to cook breakfasts. I have to face the fact I can't be dragging all that around, and just buy the food when I get there. It's just not worth it.

@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge 4 года назад

It really isn’t!! 😍😍

@LaurensTravels 4 года назад

Jen, what other destinations (completely different) would you like to do? My parents want to do a river cruise down the Nile or the Rhein and for the US they want to do Alaska. I would sign up for any of those...or any cruise truthfully

Yes, you don't have to eat everything, but why waste the chance to sample everything. The food items are already prepared so don't feel guilty that you are wasting anything. Other than on a cruise ship, you go broke ordering all these food just to try out in a 5-star restaurant. Hope to hear your review on your Viking cruise. Our Viking cruise got canceled because Star (or Sea?) got into trouble along the coast in Norway in March (or April?) this year. Can't wait to go on the Star on Jan 3 for the Iberian Explore.

Joyful Living with Jen Lefforge - oh my goodness *these* tips. 🤣 Also, a video idea for you: How to decide on the right cruise length. Since you’ve cruised a few times you could talk about what the right length is and how to decide. As someone who has never cruised before it’s hard to decide how long I should go for some are so short but others are 10 days! What are the pros and cons of each?
