Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm an advocate for passports for probably not the reason that you're thinking when you go on a cruise and you have to go through the line to get on the ship sh and to get off the ship the lines for the passport are way shorter

I would say book faster to the fun with royal I would say book the key they are absolutely worth that extra hundred bucks for sure

I always suggest that you print your luggage tags and attach it with these types of holders

Do research on cruise types to match your personality
Get a passport for faster embarkation
Join the Facebook group for your specific cruise
Do online check-in as early as possible
