Creator's Key Takeaways

Welcome back to Ship Happens where cruising doesn't always go as planned. And sometimes comes with a side of cooties.

Alcohol plays a major factor in almost every cruise problem that we see. You know, whether it's losing track of time, bad decisions, uh going back for your phone.

Luna is by far the the prettiest, most elegant, clean ship that we've ever been on and we've been on a few.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Set a timer on your watch or use an analog watch to track port time.
Program embassy numbers into your phone for international trips.
Keep the port authority's phone number from your daily deck to communicate if you are running late.
