Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm currently in my cabin on a cruise and when I was boarding it made me think I should share with you the things that I do to make invocation day smooth stress-free and make the most of the day

make sure that you've downloaded the cruise line app if they have one because you'll find once you're onboard you might find it more difficult to download

I avoid the buffet restaurant most people when they embark they just want to go somewhere simple and easy so they head up to the buffet it gets pretty crowded and pretty crazy

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Arrive at the cruise port the day before to avoid travel hiccups
βœ“Prearrange and book as much as possible online before the cruise
βœ“Download the cruise line app before embarkation
βœ“Understand the cruise line's policy on check-in times
βœ“Pack a day bag with valuables and items for immediate use on the ship
βœ“Avoid the buffet on embarkation day and use a normal restaurant instead
