Example for a Post Entry:

When my family and I travel on cruises we always arrive at port at least one day earlier so we don’t have to rush the morning of and can explore the area. Last year we used AARP Rewards to purchase a discounted Hotels.com gift card to save on our hotel stay in Port Canaveral, Florida the day before our cruise.

Always lose 10 lbs before a cruise then enjoy yourself while not counting calories or worrying about gaining weight. Think positive - send my $ card

My husband and I try to cruise atleast once per year. We always use AARP Rewards to purchase cruise gift cards to pay for it. Thank you AARP for making them available for most of the cruise lines, so we could save 10% and get more done.

Cruising is my favorite way to travel, my husband and I have done 30!  I love only unpacking one time and waking up in a different city every day or enjoying a relaxing day at sea!  I love the AARP discount on the Cruise Line Gift cards, used them to help pay for a trip and saved money at the same time!  Can't wait to do it again.

Arrive at least a day in advance so you are sure you have your luggage and do not need to worry if flights are delayed.

I love cruising. I have one simple tip to stay healthy while cruising… bring a larger cup with a lid (not glass). It’ll save trips to refill drinks and help cut down on waiting in long lines. With warmer weather it helps to keep hydrated.  Safe travels! 🥤

I love cruising and by buying the carnival gift cards through AARP I save money on every cruise.

When it's cold (e.g., Alaska cruise), get something hot to drink, go outside to the deck, grab 1-2 blankets that they have avail. - and you'll have the deck practically to yourself. Then watch the waves and the sea life go by.

It should be obvious....leave your room! Even if your room has windows, balcony, etc. explore the ship and meet new people! I haven't been on a cruise in many years; therefore, I cannot speak to AARP cruise discounts. 😕

I’ve never cruised on Carnival, don’t get to vacation often, due to a fixed income now in retirement, and would love the chance to visit the Mexican pyramids. I try not to overpack, bring navy, black and white slacks, to match with any color or variety of tops I might bring or buy there. I look forward to only unpacking once for the whole trip. I put a tracker in the luggage, for peace of mind, and a bright colored ribbon on my checked bag, so it’s easily recognizable to me. Cruising is the best kind of getaway!

By gift cards from AARP and save 10% on every aspect of your cruise from booking to your ship account is something I tell everyone. Also dont overpack and fly or drive in the day before.
