Creator's Key Takeaways

If it is not the cruise line toilet paper and it did not come out of your body, do not flush it.

Pack reef safe sunscreen. Especially if you're going to the Caribbean.

Don't be afraid to wear the same thing more than once. Nobody else is paying attention.

You're in a really small space, and that bathroom is the smallest bathroom you've ever seen in your life.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring a power strip without a surge protector for older ships.
βœ“Use a laundry bag for $15 to get clothes washed and save space.
βœ“Pack reef-safe sunscreen to protect ocean life.
