Creator's Key Takeaways

planning the perfect Cruise isn't just about picking a ship and booking a cabin the itinerary can make or break the entire trip

give yourself 90 minutes make sure you're back 90 minutes before that ship leaves

don't book two 4our excursions yes you might get lucky and you might get back in time but if you don't now you're stuck in a foreign country

fly the day before don't screw yourself by flying in the morning up cuz all it takes is one delay one cancelled flight

Creator's Tips & Advice

Give yourself 90 minutes buffer before ship departure from port
Book independent excursions at least an hour after ship arrival
Fly to your cruise departure port the day before
Plan sea days with activities and explore the ship
Bring your passport even on closed-loop cruises
