Creator's Key Takeaways

this might have been one of the smoothest cruise disembarkation we've ever experienced

being a retreat guest really made a difference

We walked off the ship, grabbed our luggage. And we were out out of the terminal within minutes

It basically extends the luxury experience from the ship to the hotel

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack earlier in the day than the night before
Pack a small bag so you can have things that you can walk off the ship during disembarkation
Stay close to the port if you can
Add a post-cruise stay if you can
