Creator's Key Takeaways
Cruises are a magical mix of vacation ease and endless options.
Arrive at least a day early. Enjoy a stress-free hotel stay and maybe even explore the departure city.
I only cruise with a backpack full of stuff and sometimes a computer bag on the side.
Wash your hands often, especially before eating. Use hand sanitizer when sinks aren't nearby.
