Creator's Key Takeaways

Wouldn't it be awful if you return to the port after a fun day a short only to realize that your ship departed 30 minutes before

if you decide to cram your entire family of four in a stateroom to save some money just to end up tripping over each other and arguing the whole time

if you show up with one on embarkation day it will be confiscated by the cruise line and held until you disembark

if you are caught smoking in your cabin a cleaning fee will be charged to your onboard account and they can often be pretty high charges

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Read up on prohibited items before embarkation
βœ“Don't book the cheapest cruise just for the sake of going
βœ“Check your passport expiration date before cruising
βœ“Put your phone in airplane mode to avoid roaming fees
βœ“Change your watch to ship's time to avoid missing All Aboard
βœ“Consider booking two staterooms instead of one for more space
