Hi Cruisers, Join us today as we talk about how to make your cruise embarkation day a massive win! We'll spend the first part of this shorter (maybe 30 minutes) livestream talking about things you can do on the first day of your cruise to make it totally awesome. We'll hit on a few things you shouldn't do on embarkation day. In other words, we've got some embarkation day wins and fails for you. Then we'll open it up and talk about how you make your embarkation day special. Do you have any traditions? Are there some things you would recommend others avoid on the first day of the cruise. Bring your ideas, and we'll share them.

USA.cool places to tour on the cruise ship
Hi Sherri. I got my packing cubes for my cruise at ebags.
Any cruise tips for first time cruiser sailing in October for a four day cruise on carnival in 2019?
Okay, I'm catching up on past videos of yours and wondered what kind of pillows you and Mr.CTTV buy. I have such a hard time finding good pillows!
We buy our pillow's at Costco!
NC, USA, CAN YOU DO A VLOG ON THE PRINCESS CRUISE BOOK CLUB???
Friday (tomorrow), I’m starting my new self-injectable medication (a nurse will be coming to my house to show me how) & if I am still alive by 9:30pm - I will try to join you!!
I have severe motion sickness. I put the patch on the night before we drive to Galveston. We always go the day before embarkation and stay in a local hotel. That way I don't get carsick and the patch is working well when I board the ship. If the seas are calm, I change the patch on day 3 of 4. Sooner if the seas are rough. Since I also suffer from Mal deDebarkment syndrome, I leave the last patch on for many days after returning home. This has worked quite well for me. After my first cruise, I was hanging on to furniture and spending most of my time in bed for six weeks after the cruise.I was heartbroken thinking I could never cruise again but the patch has worked well for me. Mal de Debarkment syndrome is no joke and very unpleasant. I hope this helps others
It sounds like you have some excellent strategies!
I know I'm late but.... embarkation day fail... trying to sneak alcohol on board and getting caught lol happened to someone I sailed with...he opened the bottle of tequila and a bunch of random people helped him drink it before they made him dump it !! 😅
You are sooo upbeat!I love watching you!!💥💥💥
How do you guys sanitize your cabin do u bring your own Clorox wipes or what
We use the Norovirus eradicating wipes with the green lid in our store- www.amazon.com/shop/CruiseTipsTV

Hi Sheri! was just watching this vlog with my husband and you mentioned that you heard from a subscriber that works with melanoma and skin cancer patients and talked about sunscreen. He laughed hysterically because I jumped up and said "that was me"!! (my husband is also a you- tuber and he said he mentions me all the time but i don't get excited like that!!) 😉Thanks for the mention and am happy you're helping get the word out.. sunburn is no fun - sunscreen on a cruise is key!!!!
Excellent vlog..can't wait to participate in next live stream!
+Jenn P. Love it- the message is soooo important and I’m
Glad you sent me a note about t! I’m so sorry I didn’t reply to your earlier -I’m a little behind this week. Hugs!!
CruiseTipsTV - - I know the feeling!! Loving Vlogtober.. great to watch when unwinding from a long day - I'm hooked!! I appreciate how much time and effort goes into filming and editing videos.. labor of love! My husband now watches with me and we're so impressed with your subscriber numbers.. your hard work has paid off and responding to messages and comments is much appreciated by all!! Kudos to you and Mr CruisetipsTV! 💖 💖 ☺
Thank you so much for the encouragement! We're having fun with it!
So what’s in your drink lol
Hi from Pennsylvania in USA :) Love to know the pros and cons of last minute booking.
Looking forward to FRIDAY!!
USA Compare free packages cruise ships offer. Pros and cons of each.
I'm from the US. My idea is things that really make cruising (or travel in general) easier or better, things that make you say "how did I ever cruise/travel without this!?!" Physical things, apps, or anything else that applies. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into these videos. I really enjoy watching them.
Hi guys, I'm from Norway, and I am aware this competition is long gone, but I have one suggestion for a topic for your show, and that is, what to do on seadays, especially those days where the weather is not with you. I have experienced this twice. Once, in 2010, we had to pass Grand Cayman Island due to a hurricane, the pool was closed because of waves. And the second time, we had cold and horrible weather in the Baltic Sea, Scandinavian cruise. We had a wonderful time at St. Petersburg, Russia, and other ports, but, with 2 teens, and a closed pool, it was too cold, in the mid of July, long days!
Thank you for the topic suggestion. We have found a few videos over the years on this topic but it’s probably time to revisit it. Thanks again and have a great weekend
Sherry, what was the name of the sea sick band you mentioned in your Q&A video, that was good for sea sickness and pregnancy nausea? Thank you.
Reliefband 2.0
Hi Sherri. I'm a first time cruiser leaving in 1 month with my 11 year old daughter on Splendor at the new Long Beach terminal. I have limited mobility and use a wheelchair. Do you have any suggestions to make embarkation easier? Also we have a 12:30 boarding time. Can we go earlier without a problem?
From USA would love you to talk about jewelry stores at the Ports
Video idea what to do in Cancun
🇺🇸 USA! A video of different room choices 💙💙❤️❤️
USA TENNESSEE
From Australia... Would love to see a segment on pitfalls that can be faced when booking our own "shoreside" activities. 😊
+Russ Parker ah ha! I like this one Russ!
Sherry, do you know if the Hawiian 15 day cruise, is that a one way trip?
No, round trip LA, San Fran or Vancouver
Spartanburg, sc! How do u pack a carryon with wine and sodas an water. How do you make all that fit?
Not IN the carryon just carried on with carryon bag
Hi from Australia. My video idea is a comparison of the main dining room food between cruise lines.
Amazon sells a belkin plug adapter that has 3 plugs and 2 usb. It’s perfect because it does not look like a strip plug so it never gets taken. And it’s small.
Episode on tipping, how to have them not charge you,so you can tip.
Tipping used to be done that way, but was changed because too many people were stiffing the staff. Tips are pretty much the dining and room steward staff's entire income.
California, best things about getting to your embarkation city the day before sail date if your flying to port, and best port cities.
Sheri - on the newer ships, where you need to keep a cruise card in the slot near the door to turn on the lights, I’ve heard that if you remove the card at night to sleep, the outlets turn off - so you can’t charge electronics & my scooter! I guess you could keep the card in the slot & just manually turn off all the lamps (and shut off overhead lights)!! I can understand that the cruise lines want to save the Earth, save power - but having the outlets shut off???
You are both so kind to do all the blogs especially while you both have other jobs your family life and everything else you do. I want to thank you for what you all do even your son.
hi everyone..im a cruiser from australia.. :) I do not nap at all on a cruise..too much to do and too many ppl to meet :) Oh one more thing..I go on a chartered cruise in australia mostly every yr.. its a music charter and theyre fully chartered for the term or the cruise.. thankyou both for all the hard work you both do..we all appreciate it .
Hey Sheri!! I’m in GA (USA). I’d love to see you do an episode of tips for traveling with elderly parent(s). (I’m doing this in February with my 89 year old dad and my 82 year old stepmom).
Go to buffet than to room than to sail away
It is great to learn from others' fails! I'll have to remember all of those and heed their lessons.
Alabama but left my heart in San Diego county. Frequent cruiser but you always give us helpful info.
Canada; and I'd like an episode about entertainment options.
*TIP* for the wine bottle thing you can use those kids arm floats to help protect the wine bottles
Mansfield, OH USA, most memorable entertainers you have seen on cruise ships.
From So Cal. Would love to see your top 10 excursions you’ve done.
Sydney Australia!!!!! Love to watch a video on traveling with kids with special needs on a cruise
USA....Maybe a series on things to do at your favorite (or not) ports!
USA and since we are cruising with kids for the first time in November and they are also Cruise newbies my episode idea is cruising with kids and how they can get the most out of the cruise. Thanks for all your hard work for the cruise industry!
$10.00 sales are things they have not been able to sale on previous cruises. You can pick up some good deals at times and the rest you wouldn't want, or its been picked over so much its broken (watches). Most of the items are: shirts, evening bags, jewelry, wraps, sun glasses.
Vancouver BC Canada I'd love to see an episode on cruise spas - tours, what they offer, tips on sales, Cloud 9 vs others!
My husband and I haven't had a good vacation since 1991 when we took our then-6 year old daughter to Walt Disney World for her birthday. What we're planning is for my husband and I to go alone and drive from Oklahoma where we live to Nashville, stay for a day or two and see some shows, then drive down to WDW for a week, then drive down to Miami, do a partial trip through the Panama Canal, return to Miami before driving home.
Traveling in September on Holland America to Alaska.
Can we drink from the tap or Can we bring a box of bottles of water?
USA! How about the Ultimate Ship Tour?
EXPLORE THE SHIP
NJ- USA.... How about a video on your favorite excursions on each cruise
I'm the same with public restrooms but I randomly found a mini travel pack of toilet seat covers at Five Below. My boyfriend thinks I'm ridiculous but... They are always in my purse when we go out. And I'll have them on the cruise. :)
From The USA. Brooklyn N.Y.
An episode on packing for little cruisers
For me, personally, an Embarkation day WIN -- Pre-ordering the Romance Package, so when you get to your stateroom, you have a bottle of bubbly WAITING on you, and NOTHING get the party started like champagne, chocolate covered strawberries and the smell of roses to fill the cabin!
how do you know where to muster
USA, USA....I would like to see more videos about tech gear to bring along on a trip.

Live in scotland would u recommend the hair salon.?ive not saw tou go there sherri x
An epic fail for us was when we listened to the travel agent and flew to Miami the day of our cruise. No, we didn't miss our cruise but #1 we had to leave so early we couldn't sleep the night before and needless to say# 2 we were so tired when we got there we were like zombies walking around in a daze. We missed all of the festivities on Sail Away and were so tired for 24 hours that we just slept a lot the first day! Never again! We will go down early the day before and be somewhat relaxed and early for sail away.
Hi from Ontario Canada. My idea for a vlog is "Best ways to spend a sea day"
+Cheryl Mazerolle ❤️
Just finished listening to this and love all the tips. My husband and I will be going on our very first cruise in Jan on the Independence of the Seas to the bahamas and I am so excited. I just started listening to your station and have to say love, love, love all the tips and have been writing things down and trying to remember as much as I can. There's so much to take in. You're so bubbly and fun to listen to. Just entered the contest so hoping for the backpack cause I need all the help I can get on packing as I am trying to start getting outfits ready in advance!
US and cruising with kids
I always turn phone off and lock in safe. I use a camera for pictures.
Trinidad and Tobago: A series on what each port offers :)
from Freeport ,Bahamas. I love the idea of more excursion ideas. just got back from my first cruise on Saturday. thanks to the cruise tips TV family.I was well organized and had a fabulous time.
Cruise feet from the desalinated water
Our least favorite embarkation day was when we sailed out of New Orleans. We love the sail away party and watching land disappear..... only we didn’t realize that we were going down the Mississippi for 8 hours before we were in open water
Los Angeles, CA over here!!! I absolutely LOVE your channel! I am a fairly new subscriber who came across your channel while researching my cruise with my fiance in December. We are doing the Carnival Miracle Mexican Riviera cruise December 23rd. Since I am a fairly new cruiser (I've only been on a 4 day cruise), I am kind of overwhelmed with the Fun Times. There is so much to do! How do you figure out what are your must do activities and do you ever plan your day out completely? I am such a planner and I feel like I need to figure out what to do but at the same time I am on vacation!
Hi i will be going to conzumel in December is it cold? Thanks in advance
+naidy padilla It should be nice and warm.
Thank you
LOVED your video tonight. I have a thought about HAL downside. We went on the Westerdam. The dining room food was great, but the buffet served the same food for lunch AND dinner ALL 7 nights. I don't know if they all do that, but probably won't go on them again for that reason.
Usa! How about an episode all about cruise food! 😁
We’re from the United States & would love to hear about luxury cruising on a budget!
Thank you for these great videos! You guys are the best!!
Scotland. How about an episode on tips to make the experience of getting to your ship a positive one. Love all your tips!
I'm from south Carolina and thinking of taking a cruise on either carnival or rccl. Was just wondering what is an average cost to expect for a 5 to 7 day Caribbean cruise? What's the best ports to consider?
Australia! I would love to see a comedy type video on the different types of cruisers!
USA. How about an episode that gives recommendations for multi-generational travel. What cruise line is the best for making everyone equally happy in the case of a family reunion trip (from great-grandparents to toddlers)? Trying to make that happen here :-)
It's so nice to hear you sounding happy and maybe with whatever you had is getting better. I don't know I have something went to the doctor it's been over 3 weeks now and sinuses
Sheri, do you think the Eastern Caribbean will be up and running by next oct?
+Amanda Graves yes I do!
Absolutely
Have you participated in the Princess Cruises Puppies in the Plaza?
I'm from the US. I would like to hear about ways to save money when cruising solo.
Can you talk more about FTTF on Carnival? I'm going on the Carnival Pride in May 2018. It leaves out of Baltimore, Md. and I've purchased FTTF. Has anybody sailed out Baltimore and has anyone used FTTF from there?
I had no idea I could had went onto the Ship early...I starved for several hrs. waiting to get on the ship at my scheduled time.
Please as always in you Videos mention know your cruise excursions. Our last cruise to Cozumel one excursion was not a tender but a Ferry. I am prone to motion sickness took 2 Dramamine and still got very sick on the Ferry. Ended up taking a third Dramamine missed the excursion as did my wife, what a day. Celebrity/RCI was great they checked om me as I was laying on the dock recuperating hours later and even refunded the cost.
Calif, best all inclusive beaches in the Caribbean!
