Creator's Key Takeaways

we have arrived here at the Port of Miami to board Independence of the Seas

I have honestly never seen this port so quiet before

we're going to head to our mustard station and do the mandatory mustard check in

we both got our bands on the first try so now we can go to all the advanced surfing sessions

Creator's Tips & Advice

Watch the muster drill video on the Royal app or stateroom TV to save time.
If you have roller bags, check them in; otherwise, you'll need to carry them until your room is ready.
Sign the waiver for the Flow Rider before surfing or boogie boarding.
