Creator's Key Takeaways

These are five boarding day tasks that could save your entire cruise vacation.

If it's not working, the earlier you address this, the better chance you'll have of getting it fixed or getting moved to a different cabin.

A small tip up front goes a long way in improving your quality of service over your cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check the air conditioning in your cabin by turning it down cold and feeling for cool air from the vents.

✓Check for bed bugs before opening your suitcase by pulling the mattress back and shining a flashlight.

✓Wipe down cabin surfaces with disinfectant wipes to avoid germs from previous occupants.

✓Ensure everything in your cabin functions properly, including toilet flush, sink drain, and balcony door lock.
