Before you (and we!) set sail on Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas, join us for what we’re calling the Must-Do Drill — our essential list of pre-cruise hacks and Day 1 tips that will save you money, cut the stress, and make your first day at sea feel effortless. From rebooking your drinks package when prices drop, to snagging the best check-in window, to avoiding the chaos of the Windjammer on embarkation day, these are the tried-and-tested things we always do ourselves. Think of it as your pre-boarding safety briefing — but for fun, cocktails, and good value. 😉 In this video you’ll find: How we saved almost 50% on The Key and the Deluxe Drinks Package Why online check-in (45 days out) is a game-changer The helipad hack for the best Jack & Rose moment 🌊 Where to eat lunch on Day 1 (hint: not the Windjammer) What to book on the ship Wi-Fi the moment you board Power adapter tips (no UK plugs!) ⚡ And lots more! We’ll be onboard Independence of the Seas from 29th September, so if you see us, please say hi — we love a chat (and maybe a chocolate martini or two 🍸). If you’re planning your first Royal Caribbean cruise — or just want to get more out of your next one — this is your Must-Do Drill. 👉 Don’t forget to subscribe for more cruise tips and vlogs from us, Get Lost with Ben & Gareth.
