Creator's Key Takeaways

One thing you should know about cruising is that imbarcation can be completely chaotic.

If you arrive at a peak time, the lines can seem overwhelming, but I promise they move pretty fast.

This is the point where some first-time cruisers think, 'I hate this.'

But once those stateooms open at 1:30, that's when everything gets to normal.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Decide whether to carry on your bags or check them.
Be prepared for the check-in process similar to airport security.
Expect crowds and limited elevators until state rooms open at 1:30 p.m.
