Creator's Key Takeaways

first time cruise questions um check-in did you know uh that you can check into your cruise early so you can check in usually 30-60 days ahead of time depending on the cruise line that you're cruising

in our experience anything that's special on a ship that um may typically get a line those lines are shorter on the day that you get on

be comfortable with your cruise but this is also going to depend on the cruise line that you're on certain cruise lines are there's luxury lines out there where you're going to dress a lot nicer than some of the more family-friendly um vacation lines

have no expectations so i don't mean that in a negative way i mean be prepared to go with the flow this is a vacation it's a trip it's something that you're you've been planning for you're excited for and be flexible
