Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruise day can also be one of the most Soul crushing disappointing days ever some of the biggest lines I've ever encountered have been on embarcation day

I Was So Satisfied in Mobile because we had one of those Park and cruise packages and we were able to take the shuttle and drive right to where you drop your luggage off

We went 2 3:00 no line another way that we've avoided these lines is we paid for priority boarding primarily on Carnival they offer a service called faster to the fun

We avoided going to deck 8 which I assume was a mad house we went right up to deck 16 we were able to find a table and we were able to enjoy a meal without much stress

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use a shuttle service or park-and-cruise package to avoid parking lot lines
✓Go later in the day or pay for priority boarding to skip check-in lines
✓Find alternate elevators by walking to the forward or aft of the ship
✓Research alternative lunch venues or ask crew members for less crowded options
✓Pre-register children for kids club to avoid registration lines
✓Wait to visit guest services until after muster drill or sail away
