This is the first time I have ever been on a cruise and I have no idea where to start.
I only want to go on a 4 night cruise from Brisbane to Airlie Beach to start with, since I'm not sure if I will like it or not (freaking out about the sea sickness thing a little bit).
Can anyone give me some tips when it comes to booking a cruise?
The do's and don'ts?
What I should pack?
Which ship is better to book with?
Thanks!

Don’t do it 😂😂😂
Book a room with a balcony if you’re worried about sea sickness for sure and maybe just do a 2 night cruise first if you can find one?? Four nights / five days on a cruise if you were hating LIFE would be torture!
I feel cruises to divide people - It’s a love or hate thing and I’m definitely on the no side… If you can’t tell!
I was definitely planning on a balcony room!
I would've preferred just a tropical island holiday but my partner desperately wants to try the cruise thing.
You’ll have a fabulous time regardless 😊 Take sea sickness meds 30 mins before boarding. If super worried I have heard of people taking one the day before too just so it gives them a good initial dose beforehand. Prevention is best as it’s near impossible to get under wraps once you are already unwell. Don’t overthink the packing. Just simple toiletries, clothes devices/chargers and whatever else you like doing. Might be a deck of playing cards or book etc. Just have fun because a cruise is always what you make of it 😊
Ohhh and likewise if you come home and are still swaying like you are on the ship sea sickness meds help with that too 😊
I will definitely remember the sea sickness tablets!
