Creator's Key Takeaways

they over pack did we overpay we over packed I think it's pretty common right I think it's a common mistake but just a common thing

the internet we use the social media package it is $5 a day if you book it when you get on the cruise if you pre book it it's only $4 a day

leave yourself plenty of time on both ends you never know what's gonna happen especially if you're flying in I would say flying the day before

you need some cash definitely all right Jenny what's the number five mistake that first-time cruisers made they don't know all the rules on the cruise
