Creator's Key Takeaways

Embarkation day was rough.

I was a little frustrated because I should have been checked in already.

It was just such a poorly handled situation in my opinion.

Once we got through it though, it was great.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask for special assistance early and confirm your check-in location.
Be prepared for security delays and have your items organized.
If you have priority access, advocate for yourself in line.
