We do it before and after cruises all of the time. We do it after the cruise because we have a rental car and stay overnight at the resort and use RAC the next morning to get our boarding passes and check our luggage. We also buy the
DDP when staying 1 night. We will be at the AKV 1 night later this month before moving to the BWV. We bought the delux ddp for the 1 night and will use our TS credits between the 2 days (checkin day and checkout day), that way we don't have to buy groceries until we checkin at the BWV.
