Creator's Key Takeaways

I have missed a cruise from booking a flight the day of and guess what the cruise didn't happen for me

always fly in the day before of course you have to pay for a hotel and factoring that or Airbnb but trust me it is way more worth it

you should wait until your scheduled embarcation time so when you check in whether that's 15 days prior to selling or depending on the cruise line you're going to be able to select your embarcation time

you are able for most cruise lines I believe are able to carry on one 750 ml bottle of wine per guess that's 21 and over

Creator's Tips & Advice

Fly into the port city at least 24 hours before departure
Join the Facebook group for your specific sailing
Use a passport instead of a birth certificate for easier travel
Wait for your scheduled embarkation time to prevent overcrowding
Bring one 750ml bottle of wine per adult if allowed
Put your phone on airplane mode to avoid high roaming charges
