Creator's Key Takeaways

we always bring a bag with us when we go on shore always yeah with something some stuff in it you never know what you might need

first of all a half if you're not gonna wear a hat I would recommend that you bring one anyway and because the Sun and the islands can be very intense

you need your ship cards you can't get on and off the ship unless you have you ship that's right you need to take that with you

we always bring at least one bottle of water now last cruise we had the cheers package so we went right to the bar the atrium bar and got two ice-cold bottles of water
