Creator's Key Takeaways

Always pack a refillable water bottle. Ships charge ridiculous amounts for bottled water from $3 to $5 per bottle, so spare the environment and bring your own.

Go to your muster station first. As soon as you step on board, just immediately go to your assigned muster station.

Green apples are nature's cure. A lot of people don't realize this, but green apples are a natural aid for helping with seasickness.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Compare cruise insurance options instead of automatically using the cruise line's insurance.
✓Pre-book dining, shore excursions, spa, and entertainment to avoid missing out.
✓Bring reef-safe sunscreen and aloe for ports that require it.
✓Always carry passports and medicines with you, not in checked luggage.
