Be on time to board the ship: Punctuality is key to avoid missing your cruise departure. 12. Ships may not abide by the time zones: Keep in mind that the ship's time may differ from local time zones, so plan accordingly. 13. Storing your suitcases: Utilize space under your bed or in closets to keep your cabin tidy. 14. Leave the contraband at home: Ensure you comply with the ship's policies by leaving prohibited items behind. 15. Don't overplan: Allow yourself some flexibility to enjoy spontaneous moments on your cruise. 16.
