------WHAT YOU NEED TO BEFORE YOUR CRUISE IN 2021------
------BOOKING TRANSPORTATION AND PRE-CRUISE HOTEL STAYS------
You will need to determine how you will get to the cruise port when planning your cruise in 2021. If you live close enough, you can drive and park at the terminal. Though many will need to arrange flights as well as transportation from the airport to the cruise terminal. You should also consider booking a pre-cruise hotel stay and flying a day early to allow for extra travel time.
------ONBOARD EXPERIENCES TO BOOK BEFORE YOUR CRUISE IN 2021------
Once you have all your reservations, you will want to complete your online check-in as soon as the cruise line allows you to do so. Cruising during the COVID-19 era means staggered embarkation times to allow for social distancing. So, the longer you wait, the later you might board the cruise ship.
When planning a 2021 cruise, there are several items you can usually book before the cruise. First, you will want to make sure you have selected your dining preference (early or late seating). Or, you can opt for a flexible dining option, meaning you will need to make reservations each night of your cruise. Some lines allow you to pre-book this flexible dining ahead of time.
Regardless, all cruise lines let you make reservations ahead of time for specialty dining. These up-charge restaurants are a great way to celebrate a special occasion. Popular restaurants and dining times do book up early.
Many cruise lines also let you book some onboard activities. These might include things such as Royal Caribbean’s iFly or North Star. Although, not all cruise lines do let you pre-book signature attractions before boarding the cruise ship. You will also want to ensure you book signature entertainment in the main theater if available.
Before your 2021 cruise, make sure to secure your shore excursions as well. You can book these through the cruise line's website. For the time being, most cruise lines have indicated that you will only be allowed on approved shore excursions through vetted operators.
------PACKAGES TO BOOK BEFORE YOUR CRUISE IN 2021------
You might also want to consider purchasing different packages before a 2021 cruise. These include drink packages and dining packages. Most major cruise lines do not include alcoholic beverages as part of the cruise fare.
Also, photo packages or WiFi packages purchased pre-cruise will help you save money.
Spa treatments and thermal suite passes are usually also available for booking before your trip. If you are interested in securing either of these premium offerings, you should check your cruise planner for availability and pricing.
If you are celebrating a special occasion on the voyage, you could investigate a celebration package as well. These vary from bottles of champagne to room decorations, and they can be booked before your cruise.
Lastly, we highly suggest you pre-pay your cruise ship gratuities before your trip. These daily service charges go to the hardworking crew, and paying them pre-cruise will help alleviate sticker shock at the end of your trip.
