Creator's Key Takeaways

arrive the day before unless you live very very close to the cruise terminal you're just 45 minutes two hours down the road

do everything possible online before heading to the cruise port so anything that they are asking for that you can do online that you fill out will speed up your process immensely

avoid the crowded areas of a cruise ship Royal Caribbean for instance avoid the Royal Promenade going on an oasis or Quantum class ship

the cruise lines have changed the muster drill you no longer have to put on your life jacket and go stand in outside in the Heat or stand outside in the colder rain
