Example for a Post Entry:

When my family and I travel on cruises we always arrive at port at least one day earlier so we don’t have to rush the morning of and can explore the area. Last year we used AARP Rewards to purchase a discounted Hotels.com gift card to save on our hotel stay in Port Canaveral, Florida the day before our cruise.

After your cruise is complete please, check and recheck your luggage ID tags before leaving the baggage claim area of the ship because you cannot return after leaving. My husband picked up our luggage without checking the ID tag. He inadvertently chose the wrong black luggage and we did not realize it was the wrong luggage until after waiting for transportation. We were not able to go back and retrieve our luggage but we were able to return the other person's luggage to the staff. We returned home without our luggage and had to pay the cost of shipping our luggage to our home. It arrived a few days later.

My mother passed 11 years ago July 21 - I sold my house to move in and be her caregiver - In 2016 my brother passed away from Pancreatic cancer. i was also his caregiver- my companion dog of 15 years died Aug 5th last year - all my family is gone. i am unmarried and i never had children. I could certainly use some R and R for me! I’m wiped out mentally.

Don't forget to pack your sunscreen. It's extremely expensive to purchase on the ship if you've forgotten it.

If you’re flying to the cruise port with a partner, consider putting half of your clothes in each other’s suitcase. That way if one bag is lost, you’ll both at least get half of your clothes. Hey, it does happen.
