13 Ridiculous Time Wasters All Cruisers MUST Avoid! (Cruise Workers Wish Seniors Knew This!)
Skipping the embarkation day buffet in favor of the main dining room, which quietly serves a sit-down lunch on many ships while the buffet runs a line around the corner, is one of the simplest ways to reclaim the first afternoon of a cruise. The guest services desk on that same first afternoon is packed with questions that mostly cannot be answered yet, because onboard credits take time to load and luggage is still arriving from the pier, so going at eleven at night when the desk is nearly empty gets a faster and more thorough response. For tender ports, waiting an hour after the first boats leave often means walking straight onto a tender with no numbered ticket and no theater wait. The video also covers why booking shore excursions, specialty dinners, and shows from home before boarding matters, and what to do on the last morning to avoid spending two hours in a lounge watching a screen.
