A cruise buffet on the first afternoon
Cruise planning

The first afternoon is how people burn the week

Same-day flights, no lunch, and trying to photograph the entire ship before muster.

The first afternoon is how people burn the week

Same-day flights, skipping lunch, and photographing the entire ship before muster. Eat. Do the safety drill. Find the cabin. Leave something for day two.

A cruise ship atrium on embarkation day

Skip these on purpose

  • Same-day air

    How people miss ships.

  • No food

    Hangry is not a personality.

  • Doing the whole ship

    You have nights left. Use them.

  • Ignoring muster

    Required. Not content.

Eat. Do the safety drill. Find the cabin. Leave something for day two. That is the whole sermon.

Keep going
