Creator's Key Takeaways

The Celebrity app will come in handy on your cruise to make sure you're not missing anything while you're on board.

If you're looking at getting a drink package, a dining package, Wi-Fi, or that really fun excursion for one of the ports, we recommend purchasing that well before your cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Download the Celebrity app before boarding for itineraries, maps, and dining info.
Book drink packages, dining packages, and excursions before the cruise to save money.
Arrive in the departure port at least one day early to avoid missing the ship due to flight delays.
Check the Celebrity app the day before to watch muster drill videos to speed up the process on board.
Bring binoculars to view landscapes and wildlife from the ship.
Make dining reservations on embarkation day to ensure you can eat with your travel party.
