What a cruise roll call is, where to find one, why they fall apart, and how to actually meet the people sailing with you.

Cruise ships were built to entertain strangers, not introduce them. Here is what actually works onboard, what does not, and why the best connections start before you board.

What actually happens on embarkation day, why trying to board first is a waste of your vacation, what belongs in your carry-on, and how to start the week the way you meant to.
