Sailing day, without the scramble

  • Fly in the day before if you can. Many cruisers fly in the day before sailing, because a delayed flight can mean a missed ship.
  • Follow your cruise line's arrival time. Follow the arrival or check-in time your cruise line assigns. The port asks guests to allow time for security screening.
  • Porters help with the luggage. Porters at the terminal help unload luggage when you arrive and load it when you return.
  • Pick the car for the luggage, not just the people. Two people with two large cases each fit a Suburban or Yukon XL better than a sedan.
