Creator's Key Takeaways

there are certain things that we do want to take with us ashore that are required and are required to get back on board the ship

if you did not learn how to tell time you could get left and it's up to you to get to the next port of call which sucks

they have Harbor pilots that have to stick to a schedule and they will not hold the ship to wait for you

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Carry your room key in a clear plastic pouch with your photo ID.

✓Bring a credit card or cash as room keys often do not work in ports of call.

✓Always carry your port shopping map for emergency contact information.

✓Pack a raincoat and umbrella even if the weather looks clear.

✓Always follow ship time rather than local time to avoid missing the vessel.

✓Set a timer on your phone as a backup to ensure you are back on board on time.
