Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the Verifly app to upload vaccine and passport information for faster embarkation on Holland America cruises.
Get a porter when disembarking to bypass long customs lines and use a separate customs lane.
Pay close attention to your stateroom bill and take screenshots to ensure accuracy.
Do not expect reliable internet on Princess ships; handle important tasks before boarding.
If you want a specific drink, check multiple bars as stock may vary and substitutions may be made without notice.
