Creator's Key Takeaways
the sweet spot for me for return flight home is around 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.
I always self assist meaning I carry my own bags off the ship so I don't have to wait for my bags after disembarkation
with self assist I have the luxury of basically disembarking whenever I want
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Schedule return flights around 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. to avoid rush and stress
✓Use self-assist disembarkation to carry your own bags and leave whenever you want
✓For late flights, get a hotel day pass via resortpass.com or Resort for a day to nap, use pool, or shower
