Creator's Key Takeaways

When cruising, it's important to know the difference between port time and ship time.

If you don't, you may be left behind.

A tip that I have to stay on the right time is to carry an analog watch or a time piece, which is not a smartwatch, and set it to the ship's time.

As a general rule, it's a good idea to plan on being on board at least 30 to 60 minutes before your scheduled onboard time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Carry an analog watch set to ship time.
Set smartphone to not update to local time.
Plan to be on board 30-60 minutes before scheduled time.
Contact port agent if running late.
Leave passport in safe; take government ID and CPASS card.
