Creator's Key Takeaways

just landed in Miami for my next cruise and I got to figure out what to do with my bags

the first option is to just handle your bags yourself which is called self assist

now this is a safer way because your bags are going to stay with you at all times

you have to carry around heavy bags possibly for hours which can be inconvenient

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use self assist to keep bags with you and avoid waiting for them
✓Print luggage tags ahead of time if checking bags
✓Tip porters $2 per bag unless bags are oversized or heavy
