Arriving and boarding

Check port entry, terminal, parking, and identification instructions. Confirm your return pickup arrangement.

Where to stay and what to explore

Choose a hotel around your arrival time and priorities: beach time, dining, or an easy pre-cruise night.

A smoother travel day

When flying in, consider arriving before embarkation day. Your advisor can compare flights, hotel nights, luggage handling, transfers, and realistic departure plans after the cruise. A same-day flight connection will not suit every sailing.

Before you leave

Use the terminal and arrival time in your confirmed cruise documents. Check current port instructions, supplier deadlines, travel documents, and accessibility arrangements. Port assignments and operating conditions can change.
