Creator's Key Takeaways

Planning a cruise? There's nothing worse than finding out days before your cruise or even once you're at the cruise port that you're unable to board the cruise for something you never expected.

Verbal abuse of cruise line employees. Now, what I'm talking about is a gentleman who received a letter from his cruise line stating that his itinerary had changed.

A damaged passport can get you denied boarding. Terrors, small stains, lifted pages are all reasons for crews and immigration officials to refuse boarding.

CBD gummies actually got one woman denied boarding and banned for life on her Miami cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Don't share any of your personal information, including your full name, date of birth, booking number, or cabin number online.
βœ“Arrive at the cruise port 90 minutes to 2 hours before sailaway time to avoid missing the hard cutoff.
βœ“Check your passport for validity and damage before traveling, as a slightly damaged passport can lead to denied boarding.
βœ“Avoid filing unwarranted credit card disputes or chargebacks, as this can result in being banned from the cruise line.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not knowing about passport validity and damage rules β€” Check your passport after watching; ensure it's valid for at least 6 months after travel and not damaged.
Confusion about Real ID vs. enhanced ID for cruise boarding β€” Real ID is not sufficient alone; use a birth certificate with government ID for closed-loop cruises or a passport.
Missing the embarkation day cutoff time β€” Arrive 90 minutes to 2 hours before sailaway to avoid being denied boarding.
