Thirty Day Countdown to Your Cruise

Thirty Day Countdown to Your Cruise

We can’t be more excited for you. Really. We know what it’s like. If you are here then this means you have an amazing cruise adventure right around the corner. Our goal is to have you not only ready but stress-free before you sail. How often are you so stressed before you travel that you need not just one cruise, but two to feel better? Ok, the two cruise part is not so bad. But the stress is.

First, we walk you through 90 days and 60 days before your cruise. And then we take you one day at a time through the most important 30 day countdown to your cruise. You will get tips on everything from packing to getting your documents ready to board your fabulous ship. We will give you last minute questions to ask your Travel Agent and things to research before you go. Over the 30 days leading up to your cruise, we want you to get things done methodically and easily. Doesn’t that sound sane?

Shauna is the Cruise Goddess. She has earned that title with over 200 cruises taken! Captain Bert has almost 70 sailings to his Captain’s log. So, if anyone can help you get ready for your cruise, we can. We also are giving you tips on our favorite things to buy, wear and bring for the best vacation ever.

If you are an early bird here, be sure to check our 90 Days until your cruise and our 60 Days before your cruise pages, you will get a great head start on your Cruise Countdown.
