Creator's Key Takeaways

constipation is the worst though not only do you feel uncomfortably bloated but you also have that impending doom of when your body finally decides to get things moving

toilet paper on a cruise ship is quite possibly the worst that you can experience and it's definitely worse than any generic single ply toilet paper that I've used before

chair hogs unfortunately you might find it a bit hard to naked Chair by the pool if your cruise ship has a lot of chair hogs on board

I absolutely always cruise with anti-diarrhea medication along with Tums or Pepto-Bismol tablets because these can really save the day

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack laxatives to prevent constipation
Wear lightweight, breathable clothes and use antiperspirant
Consider silicone rings if you bloat easily
Download a noise-canceling app or bring a portable sound machine
Bring anti-diarrhea medication and Tums or Pepto-Bismol
Apply sunscreen and pack aloe gel for sunburns
