Creator's Key Takeaways

I have cruised for many years and we've never had a fuel supplement added to our bill but of course that is a possibility and it could happen

I would rather be disappointed about missing a specific porch than I would sailing through a hurricane

make sure you have considered certain things about your home while you're gone have you arranged to have your mail held

if you're flying and you have not yet downloaded the Airlines app do that ahead of time

Creator's Tips & Advice

Complete online check-in 45 days prior to sailing using the Royal Caribbean app
Take a photo of your luggage on embarkation day in case it gets lost
Attach the cruise line luggage tag to every checked bag using the folding method
Book flights the day before your cruise to avoid missing the ship due to delays
Do the muster drill and watch the safety video soon after boarding
