Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm going to go through this video tell you all about my experiences on booking boarding Etc as a firsttime solo Cruiser

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring extra cash for porters to tip them
✓Don't be in a rush to get off the ship on debarkation day
✓Use the drink package for drinks, not beer, as beer is cheaper

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Using a birth certificate instead of a passport — It is allowed but not the smartest way; you have to go to a separate line for verification.
Not getting off the ship in the Bahamas — It should make things easier, and the creator chose not to get off.
Hidden costs like gratuities and fuel supplement — Be aware of these extra charges; gratuities are $18-$22 per day, and there's a fuel supplement.
