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.
