Creator's Key Takeaways

I also suggest you look on YouTube for the port you're going to and the ship you're going to be sailing on.

Don't miss the boat. That's it. Everything else is optional, but don't miss the boat.

If you're flying, flying the day before.

Get the muster drill out of the way quickly.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a passport for closed-loop cruises
Use a travel agent to book your cruise
Download the cruise line app early
Pack a strategic embarkation day carry-on
Use luggage tags, portable charger, luggage scale, magnetic hooks, and power strips
Book excursions through the cruise line for first-timers
