Creator's Key Takeaways

Honestly, it's a good reminder that even well-maintained equipment can fail.

I think they're ridiculous. I think this is a terrible move.

I'm not loyal to them anymore because they've shown that they're not loyal to me.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your extension cord on every cruise.
Check with your specific cruise line for banned items.
Stay vigilant on cruise ships, even with cameras and security.
