Creator's Key Takeaways
A little research, and I mean even just 10 minutes on Google, goes a long way.
Good agents don't cost you extra. The cruise line pays them, but the time and stress they save, that's priceless.
Peace of mind is worth the upgrade.
Fly in the day before. Spend the night near the port. Relax. Sleep in. Start your vacation on time.
