Creator's Key Takeaways

there are mistakes and then there are bad mistakes and today i'm gonna be looking at the top nine bad mistakes not to make on a royal caribbean cruise

flying in the same day means a flight or delay or cancellation or lost luggage could ruin your entire vacation before it begins

intentionally break the rules i think perhaps the dumbest mistake to make is thinking the cruise ship rules do not apply to you

the all aboard time is not the time you should be arriving that is the last call hope you made it because the cruise ship will not wait for you

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book a flight that arrives at least a day before the cruise departs
✓Book shore excursions in advance using the cruise planner
✓Follow all cruise ship rules and do not intentionally break them
✓Keep track of local time and all aboard time to ensure you return to the ship on time
✓Put your phone into airplane mode to avoid roaming charges
✓Consider weather and season when choosing a cruise, not just price
