🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:
Setting up sail and sign card — Don't do it on the boat, get a credit card and put something on there prior to avoid crazy lines
Crowds at dining venues — Go to venues at off-peak times, like 1 PM instead of 12:30 PM when they open
Finding quiet spots — Use Pig & Anchor for breakfast and late night eats as it's never packed
