Creator's Key Takeaways

My absolute number one cruise hack is using a magnetic wallet with your phone and if you want a crossbody chain so that you're hands-free.

I always bring a travel mirror to zoom in. I'm old, I can't see close-up anymore.

A portable battery is a must. This one by Anker is great, it works really well.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use a magnetic wallet with your phone and a crossbody chain for hands-free access to your SeaPass card.
Bring a multi-device charger that is an international adapter to comply with Royal Caribbean's power strip rules.
Pack a travel mirror for zooming in and organizing cords.
Don't forget sunscreen and a portable battery for charging devices when outlets are unavailable.
