Creator's Key Takeaways

one thing we recommend for all our travelers is to add a day prior hotel state to your tour or cruise package

scheduling your arrival for the day before your tour or cruise begins provides some buffer time so that if you are delayed you won't miss the start of your trip

you can start your vacation refreshed a long flight or a time change can be tiring

relieve the stress of flying the same day as embarkation even if you don't hit any delays it can be stressful watching the clock
