Creator's Key Takeaways

Yes, it is called a handover, and the cruise director who is joining the ship will spend a week with the prior cruise director to ensure a smooth transition.

Unfortunately, no. US customs and immigration is very strict about this.

They are waiting on new software and they know it is a bit of a problem at the moment.

Operationally this is just not possible.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Get passports for everyone, including children, to use the express passport line and avoid long waits.
✓Ask your cabin attendant to purchase Pearl Cove beach towels on the ship.
✓Be patient with the gift card kiosks while waiting for software updates.
