Creator's Key Takeaways

I got us a Falcon cabin right below the Lido deck which ended up not being the best choice

we had planned an excursion for every port and it was exhausting because we were so exhausted that we we we had to skip one of our cruise ports

I made a rash purchase when we were in Mexico at Chichen itzá the Mayan ruins

I have over packed god forbid yes I have over packed we both have

✓Be cautious when buying souvenirs and don't feel pressured to buy
✓Don't overpack to leave room for keepsakes and avoid extra baggage fees
