I’ve asked some wonderful friends and guests of ours, Mike and Lee, to share their tips for first time cruisers. Over the next week, their series of posts will include information about arriving at port, check-in at the cruise terminal, boarding the ship, dealing with lost luggage, what to do when you board the ship, and more. Enjoy!
