Creator's Key Takeaways

I had an eye opening experience when we traveled on the MCC side with our friend Don Terrace from Don family vacation when we went to Puerto Rico

carrying a big red backpack around could invite some trouble and so I don't usually put anything that's super expensive in this bag that I'm not okay losing

I take this solar powered backup battery so that I can charge on my gear if I'm going to be out longer than the battery life

Creator's Tips & Advice

Research ports before your cruise to know if lockers are available
Use a travel safe with a steel cable to secure valuables when away from your bag
Bring your own towel from home to avoid cruise line charges if lost
Pack a small umbrella and ponchos for unexpected rain
Use a minimal camera setup to avoid drawing attention at port
