Creator's Key Takeaways

the embarkation Day is not a stressful experience in my opinion I have always gone through it and thought it's been a really well rehearsed smooth process

it is such an exciting feeling so I'm near enough jumping up and down with joy taking as many pictures as I can as I approach the port

the muster drill is essentially the maritime variant of a fire drill and is really important

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider driving to the port the day before your cruise to avoid being late
Make sure you have your passport, e-ticket, and luggage tags before leaving the house
Arrive at your designated embarkation time to avoid chaos at the terminal
Keep your cruise card separate from your phone to prevent demagnetization
Attend the muster drill and listen to the safety briefing
