Creator's Key Takeaways

I will be giving you a bunch of tips to help you have the best embarcation day cuz it's the first day of the cruise you want it to go by smoothly

Royal Caribbean is a well oiled machine in terms of this process it took us from the time we got into the terminal about 20 minutes before we were walking on the gang way into the ship

I am so glad that I went and chatted with someone from the dining team and I did this pretty much as soon as I got on the ship because those reservations sell out quick

Creator's Tips & Advice

Complete online check-in 45 days before your cruise to save time in lines
Print your baggage tags and use plastic sleeves for durability
Arrive at least an hour before your bus departure time for transfers
Pack valuables and essentials in your carry-on before accessing checked luggage
Visit the dining reservations desk as soon as you board to secure a set dining time
