Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Be aware that ports can change after booking due to weather or other conditions.

✓Bring a power strip without surge protection to charge devices in your cabin.

✓Buy shore excursions directly from the cruise line to ensure the ship waits for you.

✓Return to the ship at least one hour before departure time, especially in foreign ports.
