This is Jerry Tubbs at facebook.com/jerry.tubbs. Now that I have retired as a travel agent, I am offering my years of experience to my fellow travelers. My main lesson is: Whether or not you use a travel agent, you are your best vacation planner. No one understands your needs better than you.

However, travel planning requires research. We can help each other via the DIY-Travel group at www.facebook.com/groups/diytravelgroup. There, you can share questions and suggestions with your fellow travelers. In addition, you can reach me at [email protected].

If booked correctly, a cruise can be an awesome experience. But how do you avoid the many pitfalls?

For example, not try to fly to the port on the same day as the cruise sailing. If you encounter a flight delay or a missed flight, the cruise ship could sail without you as you rush to the dock. Instead, you should arrive at the port city at least one day before the sailing date. Therefore, you need to book a flight to the port city and a hotel room there. The hotel will arrange your transportation to the dock.

At many resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean, 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 means your meals, drinks, activities, and entertainment are included in one low price. While enjoying the resort, you can leave your wallet in the safe in your room.

Instead of budgeting daily for drinks and meals, you are free to shop and go on excursions. If you are on vacation, why would you want the daily stress of budgeting?
