Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're going to be taking some pictures, you know, trim up your beard a little bit, maybe get a haircut if you have some more hair than I. It's a good thing to do before you actually take your pictures for your formal night.

Now, if you're also a person that goes to the casino, you might want to think about withdrawing your bankroll at that time for your cruise at the bank when you're there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Do your check-in 45 days before your cruise to get an early arrival time.
✓Download the Royal Caribbean app as soon as possible for daily activities, bookings, and dining reservations.
✓Create packing lists and stage items in an area at home to ensure you have everything you need.
✓Research port excursions and compare prices, but book outside the cruise line with caution regarding timing and transportation costs.
✓Join a roll call on Facebook or CruiseCritic to meet fellow cruisers and share costs or events.
✓Visit your bank to get cash in small denominations for tipping and to avoid high fees on shipboard ATMs.

Not knowing how to use the app or what it's for. — Download the app early to book shows, dining reservations, and see daily activities.
Forgetting to tip or not having cash for tips. — Get small denomination cash from the bank for ad hoc tipping to porters, shuttle drivers, and crew.
Losing a debit card linked to your main account. — Use a reloadable debit card like Chime for cruise spending to protect your main account.
