Not knowing the exact terminal address for Uber/Lyft — Know the physical address of the cruise port and the specific terminal for your ship

Showing up too early for check-in — Arrive just 10-15 minutes prior to your check-in window to avoid long lines

Not having luggage tags or room number ready — Know your room number, deck number, and have luggage tags attached or get blank tags from porters
