Creator's Key Takeaways

I go on a 7-day cruise with a carry-on. I know everybody can't do that, but for me, it works great.

I cannot recommend travel insurance anymore. God forbid anything happens on your trip, it's going to cost you more than the travel insurance.

Pack your patience. Enjoy yourself.

Do not book a flight before noon on the day you get off the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Learn as much as you can about cruising and cruise culture.
Plan your excursions and all of your things in advance.
Get a passport for easier travel.
Pack light for a Caribbean cruise; less is more.
Purchase travel insurance for safety and coverage.
Keep medications in your carry-on bag.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting seasickStay hydrated, keep food in your stomach, use ginger candies or green apples, consider pressure-point bands or medications like Dramamine after consulting a doctor.
Packing too muchPack light; for a 7-day cruise, a carry-on can suffice with day and evening outfits, minimal shoes.
Communication on boardPurchase an internet package for communication with home or family on the ship.
