Embarkation Day: Cruise Security – A Stress-Free Start to Your Vacation
Remember those stressful airport security lines where you’re basically undressing? Good news: cruise security is a breeze. When you get to the terminal, you’ll breeze through a simple checkpoint. Just walk through a metal detector and let your bags go through the x-ray machine. It usually takes just seconds, not endless minutes like at airports.
The best part? You can keep your shoes on, your belt on—no worrying about the 3-ounce liquid rule or awkward pat-downs. It’s all designed to get you onboard and into vacation mode quickly.
It really sets the tone for a stress-free start to your trip, doesn’t it? How did you find the boarding process on your last cruise? Compare it to flying for me!
