Creator's Key Takeaways

usually you want to have some kind of picture ID and maybe your insurance policy on you in case something happens

it's up to you if you want to keep your passport with you on the ship

every cruise that I've been on has a safe in The State Room and you're in control of setting the password

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring a picture ID and insurance policy ashore
✓Take a daily event planner or a photo of it to have port agent contact info
✓Keep your passport in the safe in your stateroom
✓Check what type of ID is needed for each port, as it varies
