Avoid these 6 things on the First Day of your Cruise

Key Moments
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.

Creator's Key Takeaways
pace yourself because you don't know how your body especially if you're not a seasoned Cruiser is going to react to all that alcohol and the movement of the ship
I suggest and I highly suggest this is try some Alternatives so if you're on an oasis class ship by Royal Caribbean our favorite is going to deck 8 and going to Park Cafe
fly in really early the day of your cruise or better yet fly in the night before just avoid that anxiety
make sure to have a hat and make sure to bring some reefs safe sunscreen
