Creator's Key Takeaways

One of the best parts about taking a cruise is the convenience.

Ideally, you'll want to bring a bag that securely zips and can be worn close to your body to deter pickpockers.

Many cruisers advise bringing at least $100 per day in cash.

One person on Reddit said, "I usually take a $100 per port day plus whatever I know we'll spend on a definite excursion."
