Creator's Key Takeaways

paperwork paperwork paperwork make sure you read the small print and make sure you know what you have to take to the port with you

i always make sure that my cabin is surrounded on all sides by other cabins now the reason for that is that typically speaking you'll get way less noise if you do that

make sure you know what's included in your fare before ideally before you get on the ship or certainly before you start buying things

if you arrive at a caribbean island where the clocks have gone one hour back but ship time remains one hour forward then the key issue there is going to be that you're going to go to the beach for the day you're going to get back to the port and unfortunately the ship that you wear enjoying your holiday on has already left

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check all paperwork requirements before arriving at the port
Book a midship cabin for less motion and easier access
Check what plug points are available in your cabin
Take an analog watch to track time zones
Understand what is included in your fare before boarding
