Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm super excited. This was just built. Check this out. Wow, look at this.

So, we went through security in less than 4 minutes. This is the quickest largest cruise for terminal I've ever been to in my life.

Overall, not bad. We got here at 10:32. It took 7 minutes to get through security.

Boarding day can be a bit chaotic. Everybody's running around. Everybody got their suitcases. Everybody doesn't know where to go. It's crazy over here.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make sure you have your passport with you.
Drop all your bags off in your room first.
Do the muster drill first, then make dining reservations.
Book theater reservations after dining.
Use the daily program or cruise card to book shows.
