Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check your cruise line's exact policy on drones before bringing one on board.
✓Pack reef safe sunscreen to avoid fines or being blocked from beaches.
✓Bring only one sealed bottle of wine per adult and avoid boxed wine.
✓Use the cruise line's app or knock on doors instead of walkie-talkies.
✓Avoid multiplug devices with standard sockets and use USB-only hubs instead.
