Creator's Key Takeaways

hey if you're new to cruising attend the shopping show it's a lot of fun and very informative

make sure your bank and your credit card companies know that you're leaving the country because they're very good about their climbing suspicious transactions

don't use a debit card this can create holes on your checking account and there's less protection against fraud

the shops outside of the crews will have better deals than those when you first get off the ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Attend the shopping show on the ship for fun and information.
✓Notify your bank and credit card companies before traveling abroad.
✓Use a credit card with free international exchange rate instead of a debit card.
✓Shop outside the port for better deals and haggling opportunities.
✓Check onboard shops for port-specific souvenirs and flash sales.
