Creator's Key Takeaways
Flights get delayed. Cruises do not wait. Always fly or drive in the night before.
Pack a carry-on with your swimsuit, medications, documents, and a change of clothes just in case.
Explore the ship early. Embarcation day is a perfect time to get familiar with the ship before it gets too crowded.
You do not need to bring cash on board. Everything is charged right to your room key.
