Creator's Key Takeaways

Self-sist is a great option if you want to get off the ship quickly, especially if you have an early flight back home.

It's also nice because your bags stay in your control. You don't have to worry about things getting lost or stolen.

But, of course, the downside is that carrying bags around that are bulky and heavy, that can be annoying.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Choose self-assist to get off the ship quickly and keep control of your bags.
✓Check your bags if you don't want to carry them, but be aware of the risk of loss or delay.
✓Pack and tag bags the night before, but leave out essentials for disembarkation day.

I generally prefer carrying my own bags off the ship after a cruise, but if it’s a longer cruise and I have a lot of luggage, sometimes I’ll let the cruise line handle it. What works best for you? #cruise #cruiselife #shorts #youtubeshorts #cruisetube #cruisetips #cruisetravel
