✈️ WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS FLY IN THE DAY BEFORE YOUR CRUISE!
You’ve booked the cruise, picked out your outfits, and you’re dreaming of that first moment stepping onto the ship! But there’s one VERY important thing I always recommend to my clients… FLY IN THE DAY BEFORE!
Here’s why 👇
✈️ Flight delays happen! Weather, mechanical issues, staffing problems, and missed connections can throw your travel plans off in a heartbeat. Even a small delay can turn into a BIG problem when you’re trying to make it to your cruise port.
🚢 THE SHIP DOES NOT WAIT FOR YOU! This is the big one! Cruise ships have strict departure schedules, and if you arrive late because of a delayed or cancelled flight, the ship will not wait for you. You could miss your entire cruise, and getting to the next port to meet the ship can be complicated, expensive, or sometimes not even possible.
🏨 Give yourself a buffer! Arriving the day before means you can relax, enjoy a hotel stay, and wake up ready to start your vacation instead of stressing about whether you’ll make it to the port on time.
✨ Start your vacation with peace of mind! You’ve spent a lot of time and money planning this trip. Why risk it all by cutting it too close?
My advice? Fly in the day before your cruise. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
And if you’re flying internationally or travelling during winter weather season, giving yourself extra time can be even more important!
