Creator's Key Takeaways
We're going to let you know what that was, what the couple did to try to remedy the situation, and whether or not they were successful.
Cruise lines don't care. They don't care if your mother died yesterday. They're not refunding your money.
Do your research ahead of time and plan out what you're going to do because the worst thing that can happen is that you get to the port, you find out from somebody else on the cruise ship that there's some great whale watching tour and you haven't booked it in advance.
Your best bet is flying in the day before. That way, you can relax, be ready to get on board when it's time to board, and have no chance of missing the ship.
