Creator's Key Takeaways

There's a big difference between waiting your turn and wasting your time.

Cruise line shore excursions simply move at a snail's pace.

Express boarding allows you to bypass the regular line, get into an express line because they already know you've done everything you need to be doing.

My time dining is an option that you have for more flexible dining times for dinner in the main dining room on a Royal Caribbean cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book third-party or private shore excursions to avoid slow group tours.
✓Complete pre-cruise check-in and use express boarding to save time.
✓Make reservations for My Time dining or book traditional dining to avoid lines.
✓Book show reservations before the cruise to avoid standby lines.
✓Use alternative elevator banks or stairs to avoid elevator waits.
✓Avoid long lines at guest services by waiting or using app chat features.
