Creator's Key Takeaways

i went on my first cruise actually during hurricane season and it's a little bit of a funny story

i always think also that if the cruise ship cannot go to a port i never complain about that

i absolutely won't do it so i'll travel without cancellation insurance because i figure it's really just money

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your own toiletries and pharmaceutical items on a cruise
Consider getting travel insurance, especially for medical coverage
Use packing cubes for organization, though they are not essential
Book hotels early for a refundable rate to monitor prices
