Creator's Key Takeaways

Hey y'all, welcome back. I am Tiffany with TP Travels, and there are several things that you need to think about on your pre- cruise checklist before boarding day.

So, I've got 10 things I'm going to share with you. And yes, you're going to want to stay to the end because one of these things almost caused me to miss my cruise ship at the cruiseport.

I highly recommend downloading your cruise app at least 30 to 45 days out so you can go ahead check in and get all of that squared away.

It is so smart. You want to make sure that you're buying travel insurance.
