Creator's Key Takeaways

Alaska-bound cruises seem unaffected despite the strikes at the British Columbia ports that started on July 1.

Embarkation was a Flippin nightmare a lot of people didn't get on till 10 or 11 o'clock at night including myself.

Norwegian Cruise Line announced changes to its shipboard grooming policy for the crew officers and staff that started on the first of this month.

I try to knock out the muster drill if you go to the station and check in because I've done them on every Cruise Line.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Investigate whether port calls are tender ports or have accessibility concerns before booking.
βœ“On embarkation day, complete the muster drill and visit the excursion desk early to discuss accessible excursions.
βœ“Tip extra for good service, especially in the main dining room and for bartenders.
