Creator's Key Takeaways

we just got back from the Maldives and in this video we'll be sharing ratings on each aspect of the trip from our group of 13 people

the true star of the show was definitely the private deck we spent countless hours lounging in the comfortable chairs soaking up the Sun

we quickly learned that allinclusive was not actually all inclusive with the majority of standard Resort drinks excluded

we were surprised to learn that the Hobie cats our favorite non-motorized water sport were not included and were actually very expensive

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Don't bring shoes as there is nowhere that doesn't require walking through sand
✓Bring a snorkel and mask as rentals are on a first come first serve basis
✓Bring lots of sunscreen as the resort shop is very expensive
✓Bring cash (US dollars) for tipping as staff keep 100% of cash tips
✓Sit on the left side of the seaplane going to the resort and right side coming back for the best views

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Seaplane weight restrictions — Strict 20kg main bag and 5kg personal item limits - leave extras at home to avoid extra charges
Getting snorkel equipment — Bring your own mask and snorkel as rentals run out quickly even at low capacity
What to wear — Swimsuits and coverups all day; casual sundresses or shorts for evening entertainment
