Creator's Key Takeaways

Imagine yourself getting to the cruise at 3:00 when you can probably get there at 11 in the morning and go in there and enjoy everything that you already paid for.

You want to arrive to the terminal as early as possible. And what I mean by as early as possible is taking in consideration your entry window.

Pack a carry-on with everything, all your essentials that you need.

The first thing that you want to do when you get in there is find which one is your muster station. You want to pay them a visit.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check in online as early as possible to get an early boarding window.
βœ“Arrive at the terminal close to your assigned time but a little earlier to avoid long waits.
βœ“Drop off your luggage immediately upon arrival to avoid carrying it around.
βœ“Keep your documentation handy throughout the embarkation process.
βœ“Complete your safety drill (muster station visit) as soon as you board.
βœ“Use the cruise app immediately to reserve seating for shows and access information.
