Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use the Verifly app to upload vaccine and passport information for faster embarkation on Holland America cruises.
βœ“Get a porter when disembarking to bypass long customs lines and use a separate customs lane.
βœ“Pay close attention to your stateroom bill and take screenshots to ensure accuracy.
βœ“Do not expect reliable internet on Princess ships; handle important tasks before boarding.
βœ“If you want a specific drink, check multiple bars as stock may vary and substitutions may be made without notice.
