Cruise Ship Survival Guide: Embarkation Day Do's and Don'ts for Smooth Sailing!

I wonder if Margaritaville will switch to the advance muster drill other cruise lines are using. It probably doesn't make sense with only two ships in the fleet, but I think it will once they expand further. People that get drink packages should remember - DON'T overdo it on the first day. You "won't make your money back" after the first day of cruising. And you certainly won't if you spend the second day in bed, hungover. To that end, DO bring powdered or concentrate elecrolyte drink mix with you to help with said drinking. These usually pack enough sodium to help with your dehydration. DON'T forget to talk with your stateroom attendant if you have special requests or want to find out when they will be cleaning your room. DO check to see if you're allowed to bring wine or non-alcoholic beverages on board. DO register your children in the kids club.

Thanks Kevin for the post. ,any things are in the works for Margaritaville. 6-8 more ships by 2030. A mobile app is in the works…so hopefully they transition to the e-muster soon. So many people do go hard on day 1 and it makes the first morning a beast with that hangover. We did bring Liquid IV powder but thankfully never needed it. Kids club registration is a good call out because it fills up fast. Our room attendant was Johnie-on-the-spot with any issues or accommodations we had. At this time, Margaritaville doesn’t allow sodas or wine like other lines do, but that may change in the future we were told. Soooo much more coming from this incredible cruise. We had so much fun we’re going back for the September 15 sailing with a few other KZbinrs and about 4 other people from our family. Yes, it was that much fun!

@@AaronandTodd I think Margaritaville had a bit of a stumble with their first ship. But based on videos from you and others, I think they managed to find a better ship and perhaps a better fit for what they can bring to a crowded cruise market. Hope we'll get to see some collabs with you and some other KZbinrs.
