Creator's Key Takeaways
Disembarkation day gets way less attention than embarkation day — but it's where a lot of cruisers get caught off guard.
I highly recommend doing the transfer if you are going directly from the cruiseport to the airport. It is well worth the extra money.
Make sure that any medication, your clothes for the next day, all of that is in a carry-on.
