Creator's Key Takeaways

One of the most critical aspects of a cruise vacation is getting on the ship, whether that's getting on the ship on embarkation day or getting back on the ship at port, you do not want to miss the ship.

We strongly urge folks to stay the night the night before the cruise.

If you book an excursion with the cruise line, they will guarantee that the cruise ship will wait for you.

I do believe that some third-parties have an agreement in place with the cruise lines so that they stay in communication, but this is my tip for third-party excursions.

✓Stay the night before the cruise to avoid travel issues.
✓Verify required documentation in advance.
✓Understand and track ship time to avoid missing the ship.
