FAQ
What should I wear on embarkation day?
Dress in comfortable layers. You'll be moving through terminals and exploring the ship, so prioritize comfort. Swimwear in your carry-on is a good idea to enjoy the pools immediately.
Can I bring my own drinks aboard?
Most cruise lines have restrictions. Typically, you can bring a limited amount of non-alcoholic beverages and, for some lines, a bottle or two of wine. Check your specific cruise line's policy.
What if my luggage is delayed?
Pack a carry-on with essentials like medications, a change of clothes, toiletries, and important documents. This ensures you're comfortable even if checked luggage is delayed a few hours.
What's the first thing I should do when I board?
Locate your muster station. Then, explore the ship, make dinner reservations if needed, and familiarize yourself with the layout. The buffet is usually open for lunch.
