Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on 10 cruises over the last year and I have seen the way many people waste time and energy on imbarcation day.

We're heading on our cruise tomorrow. This is Melbourne Beach, by the way, and we're leaving from Port Canaveral

You can actually wait for your mustard drill. You do not need to do it first as soon as you board your cruise.

Avoid rushing to your cabin. Now, I think this is something that a lot of people do for a couple of reasons, but research your cruise ship first

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wait for your muster drill instead of doing it immediately
Complete online check-in before your cruise to avoid longer lines
Attach luggage tags to your luggage before flying to the cruise
Skip the buffet and head to an alternative restaurant or poolside grill
Board with a minimal carry-on bag if your cabin isn't immediately available
Use less busy elevator banks (aft) to avoid crowds
