Creator's Key Takeaways

This is the time to check the room out. Make sure it's configured the way you want it.

Introduce yourself. This is the perfect time to make those logistical requests.

I always ask for a coffee maker, but you can ask for extra pillows, extra blankets, extra towels, anything you might need to make your stay more comfortable on board.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Listen for deck-by-deck announcements to know when your cabin is ready
✓Check your room configuration immediately upon entry
✓Meet your room steward in the hallway and introduce yourself
✓Make logistical requests (coffee maker, extra pillows/blankets/towels) before evening rush
