Creator's Key Takeaways

the first thing to remember is to relax even before you Bor it will not help the start of your cruise if you're in a bad mood before you even get on board

be ready with your passport and boarding pass so as not to hold up the line digging for things you should have already had ready

buffets are popular options on cruises but they can get chaotic use the serving utensils provided avoid touching food with your hands and don't overload your plate

if you're not using the chair free it up for someone else be mindful of noise levels keep music and conversation at a respectful volume
