Creator's Key Takeaways

I prefer virgin over any other cruise line for multiple reasons we'll get into in other videos but a lot of these you can use on Carnival you can use them on Royal Caribbean any of them

I personally will will not be buying one of the knockoff ones on Amazon because I even though these phones are they're water resistant now and they're much better than they used to be I don't trust that

I want to hear what you guys if there was anything that I didn't include that you guys bring let me know in the comments
