Hey Cruise Bestie! Let’s Get You Ready to Sail!

Getting There Without the Drama! (Trust Me On This One)🚢

✈️ Flight Tips That’ll Save Your Sanity

Listen up! The biggest rookie mistake? Trying to fly in on cruise day. Just don’t! Here’s why:

• Book your flight for the day before. Weather delays, mechanical issues, lost luggage… stuff happens!
• Aim for morning flights – they’re less likely to get delayed
• Pro tip: Track flight prices with Google Flights. Set those alerts and grab the deals!

🏨 Where to Crash the Night Before

You’ll thank me for this later:

• Pick a hotel close to the port (15-20 mins max)
• Look for hotels with free cruise shuttles – that’s money back in your pocket!
• Bonus points if breakfast is included – one less thing to worry about
• Check reviews from other cruisers – they’ll spill the tea on what really matters

🚗 Getting Around

Keep it simple:

• Most cruise-friendly hotels offer free shuttles – use them!
• No shuttle? Grab an Uber or Lyft
• Want peace of mind? Book the cruise line’s transfer service
• Hot tip: Screenshot the hotel address and port details – you’ll need them!

💸 Travel Insurance (Yeah, You Need It)

I know, I know… but seriously:

• Think of it as your “stuff hits the fan” protection
• Get coverage for:
  • Trip cancellations (life happens!)
  • Medical emergencies (better safe than sorry)
  • Lost luggage (please don’t let this be you)
  • Missed cruise departure (nightmare avoided)

Quick timeline so you don’t stress:

• 3-4 months out: Lock in those flights
• 3 months out: Book your hotel
• 2 months out: Figure out your transfers
• 1-2 months out: Get that travel insurance

Remember: This is supposed to be FUN!

Don’t stress about getting everything perfect – just nail these basics and you’ll be golden!
