Creator's Key Takeaways

I admit I personally do it often although I am fully aware of the risks of doing so

I strongly recommend for all travelers but note that some travel insurance policies won't cover a Miss Cruise

I'm all about convenience so I almost always go the ride share route which is Uber

I have never once been sponsored by a hotel so these are my honest opinions

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Fly in at least one day early to reduce risk and stress
โœ“Use Uber or ride share instead of hotel or cruise line shuttles for cheaper and more convenient transportation
โœ“Consider hotels in Fort Lauderdale even if sailing from Miami due to proximity and cost savings
โœ“Book a day pass or day room if you have a long wait before your return flight

Missing the cruise due to flight issues โ€” Fly in at least one day early, choose direct flights, and get travel insurance
