Creator's Key Takeaways

getting a late check in time the first day of your cruise is the best feeling in the world because you're getting on board your vacation is finally here but if you have to sit on the sidelines because you got a late check-in time ugh it's a terrible feeling

price increases do drive us up a wall a little bit but the easy way to get around price increases of course is to book as early as you can

passengers behaving badly and there's no excuse for this whether it is people who are inebriated annoying kids saving seats at the theater

being rude to crew members is not cool the crew members work incredibly hard and if there's a policy or rule that you don't agree with remember that crew member is not the person who created it

Check the Royal Caribbean app early to get an early check-in time and set a calendar reminder.
Book your cruise as early as you can and reprice it often to avoid price increases.
Be courteous to fellow passengers and control your children's behavior on board.
