Creator's Key Takeaways

so you booked a cruise now what role intro now we recently just booked our cruise on the Freedom of the Seas and it's coming up quickly

the very first thing that you'll want to do is research the ports and the short excursions

if you call the cruise line ahead of time and there's a special occasion... you can actually have the room decorate it in advance

please keep that in mind because if they shut down the credit card and your credit card is linked with the cruise ship now you won't be able to use some of your swipes on the ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Research ports and shore excursions before booking
✓Create a packing list based on excursions, dinners, and activities
✓Check passports for validity (at least six months after cruise)
✓Check in online early to save time
✓Make reservations for dinner and shows
✓Use cruise line apps or Shipmate app for onboard activities
