Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruise day can be stressful the travel the prep work confirming you have all of the correct documents we have this down to a science

the check-in process pass security at Port Everglades for Holland America this time was absolutely fantastic I think it took us less than 5 minutes from Curb to actual getting up the escalator

the state rooms were ready when we boarded the ship so we knew that our state room was located at the rear of the ship or near the AFT

look how humongous this is as we take a look at the rest of the room we did have a connecting State room so you saw the door there this corner storage area was quite nice

Creator's Tips & Advice

Complete online check-in early to get an early terminal appointment
Use a ride share to the port and ensure the driver has the security code
Print only the boarding pass page with the barcode, not full documents
Keep passport and medications in carry-on luggage
Tip porters $5 per bag for luggage handling
Check terminal number on boarding pass before arrival
