Creator's Key Takeaways

the first thing you should do is decide if you want to go ashore at all it's definitely not required

the most important time on this sheet is the All Aboard time yes I have to be back on the ship at 4:30 p.m.

I only need two things the first is my cruise card that they will use to tap me on and off the ship

my recommendation check at least two sources because I have had it happen on two different ships where the clocks all had a different time

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check the cruise guide for arrival and departure times, especially the All Aboard time.
βœ“Leave your passport on the ship for safety.
βœ“Check the ship's time from at least two sources before going ashore.
βœ“Take the stairs instead of the elevators when returning to the ship to avoid chaos.
