Creator's Key Takeaways

make sure you travel with a buffer time before you're all aboard time

gratuities are basically another word for tips but it is highly encouraged that you use these gratuities because that's not a big way of what how the crew staff gets paid

if you have any interest in getting these packages purchase them prior to your travel for the cruise because the price does increase significantly the closer to the cruise date that you go

pack minimal enough for each day know your climate know what you need

Creator's Tips & Advice

Download the cruise line app before your cruise
Check in online and upload passports and vaccination cards
Plan for airline cancellations and travel with a buffer before all aboard time
Ensure passports are valid for at least six months after the cruise
Prepay gratuities to have everything paid off before boarding
