Thinking about taking your first cruise? Here are a few simple tips to make your trip smooth, stress-free, and FUN:
1️⃣ Arrive the day BEFORE your cruise
Avoid flight delays, lost luggage, and rushing to the port.
2️⃣ Pack a small carry-on for Day 1
Your checked bags may arrive later. Put:
• swimsuit
• chargers
• meds
• documents
• a change of clothes
3️⃣ Download the cruise line app
It’s your key to:
• daily activities
• dining reservations
• maps
• messaging
• your room key on some ships
4️⃣ Don’t miss the sailaway party
It’s the BEST energy and officially starts vacation mode! 🎉
5️⃣ Bring a lanyard or card holder
Your cruise card = your ID, room key, and payment method on the ship.
6️⃣ Set a budget for extras
Drinks, Wi-Fi, excursions, and specialty dining can add up fast.
7️⃣ Explore the ship on Day 1
Take 20 minutes to walk around so you know where everything is.
8️⃣ Turn off roaming before you sail
Avoid surprise phone bills. Use airplane mode + ship Wi-Fi if needed.
