Arrive a day early - Cruise tip

by Mike Sisson (RSS feed) on Aug 11th 2010 at 11:21PM

It only takes a single episode of almost not making it to the port on time -- or missing the ship altogether! -- to make getting in town the day before... very much worth it.

Flight delays are more common these days with unpredictable weather and tighter security. One missed connection could be catastrophic if you're flying the same day as cruising. Running through airports creates the kind of stress you do not want on the first day of your vacation!

Pro tip: choose a hotel that offers transfers from the airport and to the pier.

We are planning on getting to our destination at least TWO days early before our Viking river cruise! You never know what could happen….weather, etc.
