Creator's Key Takeaways

pack twice the amount of money you think you need and half the clothes you need

the less hassle the less lines I have to wait in be that are between you know me and being on that ship with a drink in my hand

if you miss the ship and the ship leaves without you and you're standing on the on the dock you either have to take a flight home or a flight to the next Island and that's out of your own pocket

make sure that phone stays in in Wi-Fi mode I'm sorry in airplane mode because otherwise you know we've seen people come home with you know thousand dollar phone bills

Creator's Tips & Advice

Minimize what you pack to leave room for souvenirs
Check in online before your cruise to avoid hassles
Review the daily schedule to plan activities and avoid missing opportunities
Set your phone to airplane mode to avoid roaming charges
Take sea sickness precautions before boarding
Complete the muster drill immediately after boarding
