Creator's Key Takeaways

After 151 cruises, you know, some crazy stuff is bound to have happened to us on all these trips.

I would never recommend doing this, by the way.

The warning or the message here is about travel insurance because that little trip to the medical center with the IV was $750.

We're big believers in trip insurance.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Always carry a spare pair of glasses or contacts.
Never leave the country without trip insurance.
Be cautious when using local tenders or vans, especially at night.
