Creator's Key Takeaways

The checking in process that we had was probably the best that we've ever had on any of the cruises.

We literally just rocked up and we were in before you even knew about into the waiting area was which was fantastic really.

After check-in, we got seated and we would probably sat there for no more than 5 minutes before they started moving the front row onto the ship, which was fantastic because we were getting on now before our check-in time.

We decided on 100 this time. Who knows how many we'll end up with.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use AB parking for easy port access and case handling.
Have your set sail passes and passports ready for check-in.
Get as many photos as possible early to choose from packages.
