Creator's Key Takeaways

fly in the day before your cruise yes that's very obvious what's going on with the world right now but especially flying in the day before becomes less stressful

prepare to be in long lines the morning or the day of embarkation on the ship so check-in starts here in seattle at around 10 30 to 11 o'clock

i would highly recommend skipping the buffet but eric you told us an important thing to go do is when you get on the ship is go eat lunch because you're hungry

the spots fill up very very fast for the dining on the medallion app so i highly recommend you once you get onto the ship go to any of the specialty restaurants

Creator's Tips & Advice

Fly in the day before your cruise to reduce stress.
Prepare for long lines during embarkation check-in.
Have all correct documents organized in a folder.
