Creator's Key Takeaways

we're heading down to the Caribbean or to Mexico any tropical Port we're getting closer to the Equator people so the sun is much stronger definitely you need a hat and some sunscreen

invest your in a collapsible water bottle because a lot of these ports have uh water fountains that have a filtration system so you do not have to continually buy $2 and $1 water bottles

if you are going to Juno and you cannot wait to get crab legs and Tracy's you can come after me please avoid Tracy's Crab Shack

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wear a hat and use sunscreen in tropical ports due to stronger sun.
Carry a collapsible water bottle to use filtered water fountains and stay hydrated.
Research and pre-book excursions in Alaska to manage costs and availability.
Leave valuables on the ship to avoid becoming a target.
Use public beaches in Nassau or consider Margaritaville for a mid-range option.
Private islands offer accessible beach wheelchairs for those with mobility needs.
