Creator's Key Takeaways

I always check my luggage give it to the porters and I always just plan on not seeing that until the end of the day

I fly in that morning and I know everybody says don't do that I know that's that's a scandalous thing but it is about an hour flight from San Francisco to Long Beach

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Pack a few days before and keep cruise clothes in a dedicated area
โœ“Arrive at the port the night before to avoid stress
โœ“Use hotel parking instead of port parking to save money
โœ“Have all necessary documents in your carry-on backpack
โœ“Book the first boarding time but arrive later if rooms aren't open
