Creator's Key Takeaways

it took me an embarrassingly large number of cruises to figure this out but I finally nailed it

I'm not always in a hurry to get on a cruise ship but I do have the luxury of cruising frequently every year

I select the 130 spot so I can walk right on the ship go straight to my state room unpack

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make note of the check-in day and set a calendar reminder to be up at midnight (Eastern Standard Time) to select your preferred boarding time.
