Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm here to tell you all about embarcation day and how to get it right.

We prefer to cruise with Royal Caribbean.

Never fly in on the day of your cruise because if there's any delays, the ship will leave you.

That first day can be a bit daunting.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Download the cruise app as soon as you book.
Set an alarm to check in early for the best embarkation slot.
Download and attach luggage tags using sticker paper or a stapler.
Fly in at least a day before your cruise to avoid delays.
Pack a travel bag with essentials for the first day.
Complete muster drills and watch pre-videos before boarding.
