Creator's Key Takeaways

packing your hand luggage absolutely spot-on right for embarcation day and disembarkation day

don't overpack and completely forget about taking a hair dryer or a travel iron

you can take your own drink on board the ship and one of the things that we learned fairly quickly was that each Cruise Line allows an allowance of alcohol

magnetic hooks are a real real must in our opinion
