Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm heading out of town in about 21 days so three weeks away so I thought I'd better do a video on what to do ahead of time before your cruise

I'm leaving on the Caribbean princess on December 20th out of Fort Lauderdale

I get 999 positive for every one person who has something bad to say

The number one thing you should be doing is getting your passport ready

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check your passport at least two months ahead and ensure it's valid for six months after the cruise
Print your boarding pass and luggage tags immediately after final payment
Prepay for shore excursions, dining, and packages to avoid a large bill at the end
Get travel insurance, especially health insurance, for any length of cruise
Gather and organize all gadgets, cameras, and accessories before packing
