Creator's Key Takeaways

So tip number seven is all about your pre-booking options before you even board that ship.

I will say this is with the exception of our cruise is normally paid in full right then then and there is to schedule my dining reservations as those two tend to book up pretty quickly.

So if you have the uh premiere package, you're going to have your specialty dining included in with that.

In addition to that, you can also reserve any spa treatments as well as any excursions.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Log into your app to schedule dining reservations early.
Reserve spa treatments and excursions as soon as you book them.
Be cautious that things might book up if you wait until boarding.
