Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Bring multiple layers of base layers and leggings for excursions
โœ“Wear a hat with a strap and attach all gear with leashes to avoid losing items in wind
โœ“Book spa appointments as soon as you board due to limited availability
โœ“Take seasickness medication proactively during Drake Passage crossing

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Drake Passage seasickness โ€” Take Dramamine every eight hours during crossing; ship is stable but motion can be expected
