Cruise Control: Your 90-Day Countdown to Smooth Sailing.

First Things First: Getting Your Digital Game On! πŸ“±

Setting Up Your Online Stuff (Do This ASAP!)

Okay bestie, as soon as you make that final payment, here’s what you need to do:

πŸ”‘ Get Registered Online

Quick and easy steps:

  • Head to your cruise line’s website (Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyagers, Celebrity MSC or whatever your flavor!)
  • Create your account (grab that booking number from your confirmation email)
  • Fill out all the boring but super important stuff:
    • Passport, Birth Certificate, or State ID info (double-check those numbers!)
    • Emergency contacts (just in case)
    • Any dietary needs (gotta eat right!)

πŸ“± Grab That App

Trust me, this is your new BFF on board:

  • Download your cruise line’s app before you sail
  • Log in with your shiny new account
  • Turn on notifications (you’ll want to know about those drink specials!)
  • Play around with it before your cruise – it shows you:
    • Your daily schedule
    • Restaurant menus
    • How much damage you’ve done shopping πŸ˜…
    • Where everything is on the ship

πŸ—ΊοΈ Know Your Home Away From Home

Time to creep on your cabin (in a good way!):

  • Find your cabin number on the ship map
  • Check out what’s nearby:
    • Are you close to the food? (Important!)
    • How far from the pools?
    • Is the nightclub above you? (Might want to know that!)
  • Pro tip: Request your bed setup now (together or apart)

πŸŽ‰ Book the Fun Stuff

Here’s where it gets exciting:

  • Want fancy dinner nights? Book those specialty restaurants for an additional cost.
  • Got shore excursions in mind? Lock them in!
  • Treat yourself:
    • Spa appointments (you deserve it!)
    • Drink packages (if that’s your thing)
    • Internet (for those Insta stories!)

Quick To-Do Timeline:

  • 3 months out: Register and download the app
  • 2 months out: Stalk your cabin location
  • 2 months out: Book restaurants and excursions
  • 1 month out: Add any extra goodies

Hot Tip: Screenshot everything! Confirmations, deck plans, your cabin number – your phone is your best friend here! πŸ“Έ
