Creator's Key Takeaways

Make sure you give them a couple dollars to just kind of let them know that you appreciate what they're doing and getting your bags up to the room.

Most importantly, make sure you you recognize that those bags you check in may not get to your stateateroom until 8 9:00 at night.

Patience is the key. Um, you don't want the beginning of your cruise trip to be too stressful and uh so just be patient.

I cannot tell you how important it is. You will have roaming charges or fees on your phone once you leave and you get into international waters.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Print and attach luggage tags before arriving at the port.
Tip the porters a few dollars for handling your bags.
Keep essential items in your carry-on, as checked bags may arrive late.
Have your boarding pass and ID ready for the check-in process.
Complete the mandatory muster drill as soon as possible.
Put your phone and other devices on airplane mode to avoid roaming charges.
