Creator's Key Takeaways

it's a hectic day so I'm just going to go through it step by step so you have pretty good idea of what you can expect the day that you join your cruise ship

embarkation day is so overwhelming that I would actually hold off on all of the questions until the following day

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check your flight details and baggage allowance before flying

✓Book a taxi to the cruise ship the night before to account for traffic

✓Keep all important documents handy and not in checked luggage

✓Put money on your key card at the crew office for internet and snacks

✓Set your phone to flight mode and manual time to avoid roaming charges

Not knowing where to go at the port — Ask someone who works in the terminal; they will guide you
