Creator's Key Takeaways

cruise cabins can only come with one or two outlets for the entire cabin and i'm not talking about double outlets i'm talking one or two outlets to power all of your power needs

soda pops and liquor can be expensive on board a cruise ship but did you know you can actually bring some of your own from home

bring some type of extra card it can really could be any type of card it's got to be the same size as let's say a credit card where you can just go there on your first day put that in a door and leave it until the end of the cruise

bring a hammock to put outside onto your balcony so you can enjoy a hammock now again i've never seen this done i'm not really sure even how to hang them

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a small extension cord and a power strip without surge protection for cabin outlets
Use magnetic hooks to hang towels and clothes to reduce clutter
Bring your own 12-pack of canned soda and a bottle of wine per adult to save money
Pack bubble wrap for protecting breakables bought in port
Bring toiletries and over-the-counter medications to avoid high onboard prices
