📢Travel tip
🛳️The single best thing you can do for a cruise? Fly in the day before.
Ships don't wait. If your flight is delayed or cancelled on embarkation morning, there's no later sailing that day — you're chasing the ship to its first port, if you can catch it at all.
Coming in a day early buys you:
✅A buffer against delays, cancellations, and lost luggage
✅A decent night's sleep instead of a 4 a.m. airport sprint
✅Time to actually enjoy the port city — a good dinner beats a terminal food court
Yes, it's one hotel night. It's also the cheapest travel insurance you'll ever buy, and it's the advice I give every single client.
I can even book those hotels for you and help you navigate the port with a port guide.
❓Do you fly in the day before a cruise, or are you a same-day risk-taker?
