Creator's Key Takeaways

Embarkation and disembarkation day are the two most stressful parts of any cruise if you do not know what to expect.

Your cabin will not be ready when you board. Usually not until 1:00 or 1:30 p.m.

Do not stand outside your cabin door waiting.

Do not book a flight before noon on disembarkation day, ever.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Drop your carry-on somewhere comfortable and explore the ship.
✓Do not pack anything in checked bags that you need on embarkation day.
✓Have your SetSail Pass screenshot on your phone.
✓Know your terminal arrival appointment time and stick to it.
✓If you want to leave early, request early self-assist disembarkation.
✓Budget 2 to 3 hours from waking up to catch leaving the port.
