Creator's Key Takeaways

It's a great way to save money. It's a great way to have a better, more private experience, but there are some risks that come with it.

I always return to the ship at least an hour and a half before the official return to ship time.

That's my preferred way to do it instead of going with overpriced, over booked cruise line excursions.
