Creator's Key Takeaways
Your cruise carry-on should include your swimsuit, your flipflops, sunscreen, medications, any important documents, and anything else that you would want access to until your stateateroom is ready.
If you can't avoid guest services on day one, try to go during less busy times or consider waiting until day two when lines are much shorter.
By the end of day one, that thing will click. Your nerves will fade, the confusion fades, and the cruise starts to feel relaxed and easy.
