Eat a big breakfast β€” it's included and you might not eat again for hours

Insider Tip

Use the stairs, not elevators β€” everyone's trying to leave at once

Take photos of your luggage tags β€” helps identify bags in the terminal

Insider Tip

Keep medications, valuables, and snacks in your carry-on, not checked bags

Use the Navigator app to check debarkation times β€” they're posted the night before

Tip your stateroom host the night before if you haven't already
