Creator's Key Takeaways

we've had it a couple of times and we've had travel insurance and they have no problems paying

you're personally liable for any medical expenses and Associated costs incurred at the time before the cruise on board or overseas

some Cruise Lines allow small allowance of alcohol to be brought on board um such as a bottle of wine or a champagne per person

please be kind yeah um and treat them with respect they're not your personal servant

✓Do a final check to ensure you have all your essentials such as medication, cash, credit cards, hats, sunglasses, swimwear, adapters, charges, and toilet trees.
✓Stick to your designated arrival time at the port to avoid long queues.
✓Ensure your luggage tags are filled out correctly and attached to your bags.
