Creator's Key Takeaways
The app is going to become your best friend throughout the whole planning process. You'll use it for check-in, dining reservations, shore excursions, daily schedules, and eventually your boarding pass.
If your cruise line allows for advanced registration for dining, entertainment, and specialty restaurants, don't wait too long because the popular times can fill up quickly and it gets sold out.
I always recommend arriving at least 1 day 1 to 2 days before your cruise whenever possible. Weather delays, airline disruptions happen, and arriving early will give you peace of mind.
The more prepared you are, the more relaxed you'll feel on embarkation day cuz embarkation day is stressful enough.
