Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Grateful Living Cruises.

  1. Arrive at the bingo show more than 30 minutes early to secure tickets and seats.

  2. If you want a mattress topper, you must reserve it when making your booking.

  3. If you don't drink alcohol, inform the staff so they can adjust your experience/orders.

  4. If using an Uber to the port, tell the driver to take the bridge instead of the tunnel to avoid construction/traffic.

  5. Stick to your assigned boarding time slot; arriving too early can lead to chaotic lines and confusion.

  6. Check deck maps to see what is directly above your cabin (e.g., the galley/food hall) to avoid noise.

  7. Reserve Aqua Theater shows as early as possible.

  8. Arrive early and purchase bingo cards ahead of time.
