Creator's Key Takeaways

I want to make sure that I get on the cruise ship and have a nice seat at the Leo deck and just kind of relax

priority checkin we had the 10:30 a.m. window so we left the hotel in Orlando we got uh to Port Canaveral by about 1010

I was not able to do express luggage this is important our parents did not have that of fun they got their Lu about 30 minutes an hour for us

traffic getting out of there was important to me the reason I spent the $129

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book Faster to the Fun if you want to avoid traffic and get a seat on the Lido deck
Leave earlier than 6:45 AM for debarkation to avoid elevator crowds
Use My Time Dining for flexibility with shows and activities
