Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on 30 cruises now, and I've spent over a 150 days out at sea, and I've got to tell you in that time I've seen first cruisers make the same mistakes over and over again.

Honestly, they're costly, they're stressful, and I've seen people miss the ship, get hit with crazy surprise charges, and just not get the vacation they were dreaming about.

Arrive the day before. This a family got stuck in traffic and literally watched the ship pull out of port.

Flight cancellations and delays could cost you your entire trip, so don't risk it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive the day before your departure to avoid missing the ship due to traffic or flight delays.
If at all possible, arrive the night before at the minimum.
