Creator's Key Takeaways

Tip one, download the Royal Caribbean app before you board. It'll help you get to know the ship, book shows, dining, excursions, and plan your days.

Tip two, fly in the day before your cruise. Flights get delayed all the time and the ship will leave without you, no exceptions.

Tip four, bring a multi-USB charger and a European travel adapter. Cabins often don't have enough outlets and power strips are now banned, so don't get yours confiscated.

And the most important tip to have the best start to your cruise, show up early on embarkation day. I'm talking by 11:00 a.m., you'll board faster, explore an empty ship, and enjoy that pool deck before the crowds hit.
