Creator's Key Takeaways

flying into your cruise departure Port the same day your cruise embarks that's a risky Venture but it is doable

I only do it if one I can find a direct flight from my home home City to the cruise port

I personally will only fly in same day if I can get an early morning flight preferably the first one

I would never take the risk of flying in same day for an International Cruise or a really expensive one

Creator's Tips & Advice

Fly in at least one day early to reduce risk of missing your cruise
Check travel insurance policies for coverage on same-day flight cancellations
