Avoid these 6 things on the First Day of your Cruise

Editorial Summary

Jason provides advice for travelers looking to avoid common pitfalls during the first day of a cruise. He begins by warning against overindulging in alcohol to justify the cost of a beverage package, noting that heavy drinking can lead to hangovers or seasickness. He suggests avoiding the main buffet during peak boarding hours when cabins are not yet available, recommending alternative dining locations like Park Cafe or Sereno's Pizza instead. To prevent the stress of missing the ship, he advises flying into the port area at least one day early rather than arriving on the day of departure. The creator also emphasizes the importance of sun protection to prevent sunburns from ruining the early days of the trip. Additionally, he cautions against overexertion and trying to do too many activities at once without scheduled downtime. Finally, he recommends avoiding expensive on-board upsells for Wi-Fi, dining, or drinks, suggesting that passengers book these amenities online in advance to secure significant discounts.
