Creator's Key Takeaways

I am leaving for a cruise in about a week and it's going to be a very special cruise not only because Marcus is coming with me I mean that's not special but because my mom is going and it's gonna be her first cruise ever

as soon as you leave the port you should put your telephone in airplane mode because worldwide our international roaming fees are just really really expensive

I got in touch with the PR department there and they have invited us to come and spend the day there which I'm so thankful for

I think that you should at least bring some polo shirts or if you're a guy some polo shirts or some button-down shirts I don't think you need to bring a jacket

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Do an online check-in over the cruise ship's website a few days before departure to get a boarding time

✓Put your phone in airplane mode as soon as you leave the port to avoid high roaming fees

✓Make reservations for specialty restaurants before boarding the ship to avoid disappointment

✓Book excursions for ports where it is recommended for safety or accessibility reasons

✓Use onboard credit for experiences, dining, or excursions before the cruise ends

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Boarding time and process — Do online check-in to get a assigned time; later times may mean quicker boarding but not necessarily earlier ship access

Wi-Fi availability and cost — Most ships offer Wi-Fi but it's expensive and not great; consider leaving your phone and enjoying the ship

Cell phone roaming fees — Put your phone in airplane mode as soon as you leave the port to avoid high charges

Touring Atlantis Resort — Options include taking a taxi, purchasing a day pass, or booking an excursion; day passes can sell out and are expensive
