Creator's Key Takeaways

We're going to sit there, and we're going to sit there, and we're going to sit there until we're finally given the clearance to go ashore into the terminal.

It's basically a lesson in futility because all they do is look at the passport. Yeah, you're good.

However, it always happens, every backtoback that I've ever done, there is always that one person who wants to linger the longest on the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be prepared to switch rooms during a back-to-back cruise.
Have your old and new room keys ready for scanning.
Expect to wait in the ship's main theater until clearance is given.
