Five doors, not fifty tabs
-
1. Know the real cost
Fare is only the start. Add gratuities, Wi-Fi, and extras so the sticker price doesn’t surprise you later.
-
2. Lock money dates
Deposit holds the room; final payment unlocks activity booking. Miss it and cabanas get harder.
-
3. Pack with a plan
Core list first, then destination layers — Pirate Night, formal night, and kids kit without a second suitcase.
-
4. Nail embarkation morning
Arrival group, Key to the World, bags, kids club registration, sail-away — in the right order.
-
5. Register the kids
Nursery, Oceaneer, Edge, Vibe — who goes where, and what to do day one.
Optional next steps
- Cabin intel — elevators, noise, obstructed verandahs before you pick a number
- Disembarkation day — luggage tags, Express Walk-Off, Folio, and flight timing
- When an agent actually helps — and when you can skip one
- Booking windows — cabanas and Palo when your Castaway day hits
