Creator's Key Takeaways

the two most important documents you will need are your boarding pass which you will get when you do your online check-in you can either print it out or have it available on your phone and your identification which can be either a passport or a birth certificate and a government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license

most Cruise Lines will allow a 750 milliliter bottle of wine or champagne packed only in your carry-on during embarkation day

a guaranteed cabin is a cabin that the cruise line assigns you shortly before you sail it can be anywheres from a few weeks up to the day you sail in some cases so you don't get to choose your cabin

breakfast lunch and dinner are all included in the cruise at no additional charge every Cruise will have a version of a buffet style area serving all three meals a day with the main dining room serving breakfast and dinner

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring a passport for emergencies, even if it costs extra
βœ“Arrive at the port around your scheduled check-in time, about 30 minutes early
βœ“Check your cruise line's alcohol policy before sailing
βœ“Bring your own hair dryer if you spend time styling your hair

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Where will everyone sleep in a cabin with more than two people? β€” Cabins for three or four guests typically have a sofa that converts to a bed or a Pullman bed that pulls down from the ceiling; your cabin steward will prepare the beds in the evening.
Is food free on a cruise ship? β€” Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included; look for menus with no prices to confirm food is included, and check for upcharges at specialty venues.
Is the water safe to drink on a cruise ship? β€” Yes, cruise ships have a purifying system, and water from bars, restaurants, or buffet drink stations is safe to drink.
