Creator's Key Takeaways

cruising during hurricane season is not nearly as dangerous or bad and experiences you may think

the best time to take advantage of Porter's is on disembarkation day

Royal Cartman does not enforce boarding times they're just something they provide to guests

ordering multiple entrees is actually a great idea the portion sizes in the main dining room are often smaller

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book a cruise in September/October for the best deals during hurricane season
✓Use porters at the port to avoid luggage hassle and speed up customs
✓Arrive at the cruise terminal before your posted boarding time to board sooner
✓Order multiple entrees in the main dining room to try new foods
✓Consider both Royal Caribbean and third-party excursion options for each port

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cruising during hurricane season seems dangerous — Royal Caribbean has a dedicated meteorologist and will reschedule or steer clear of storms
Using porters might be unnecessary or costly — Porters are free to use (tip expected) and save time, especially on disembarkation day
Arriving before boarding time might not be allowed — Boarding times are suggestions; arriving early helps beat crowds and start vacation sooner
Ordering multiple entrees is gluttonous or expensive — On Royal Caribbean, it's encouraged and included in your fare; great for trying new foods
