Creator's Key Takeaways

The sweet spot for me for return flight home is around 12 to 1:00 p.m.

I always self-assist, meaning I carry my own bags off the ship so I don't have to wait for my bags after disembarkation.

With self-assist, I have the luxury of basically disembarking whenever I want.

I definitely do not want to be sitting in an airport for more than about 2 to 3 hours.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Aim for a return flight around 12 to 1:00 p.m. to avoid rush and risk.
✓Use self-assist to carry your own bags and disembark on your own schedule.
✓If you have a late flight, get a hotel day pass to nap, use the pool, or shower.

On my first cruise I thought I had to stay an extra night in the port city on disembarkation day, which was completely unnecessary. ✈️ #cruise #cruiselife #shorts #youtubeshorts #cruisetube #cruisetips #cruisetravel
