Why You Should ALWAYS Arrive the Day Before Your Cruise — Especially If You’re Flying ✈️” If your cruise requires a flight — whether it’s Miami, Galveston, San Juan, Europe, or anywhere in between — here’s a simple rule that will save your entire vacation: Arrive early. Always. Here’s the formula seasoned travelers (and smart first-timers) swear by: 🛏️ 1 night early — North America & Caribbean cruises🛏️ 2 nights early — Europe, Asia & long-haul cruises Why it matters: ✈️ Flight delays happen. And cruise ships wait for no one. 🧳 Lost bags happen . An extra day gives airlines time to find them. 😴 Jet lag is real. Starting a cruise half-asleep isn’t the vibe. ⏰ Embarkation day becomes EASY instead of stressful. 🍳 You enjoy a real breakfast — not airport food. 🚢 And most importantly… you’re not the person watching the ship sail away without you. Arriving a day (or two) early doesn’t just protect your trip —it lets your vacation begin the moment you wake up. Travel smart, friends. Your future cruising self will thank you. 🌴⚓️
