Creator's Key Takeaways
when you're looking at that cruise ship itinerary and it says the ship leaves at 5:00 on Saturday you think you have plenty of time to make it to the port
arriving the night before gives you more flexibility
when it says 5:00 departure they don't mention that they want you on board usually no later than 2:30 or 3:00
why not get your vacation started early
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓arrive the night before your cruise departure
✓plan for airline delays or traffic
✓be on board by 2:30 or 3:00 for a 5:00 departure
