Creator's Key Takeaways

My parents are 64 years old and they've been cruising together for over 30 years now.

One of their top cruise essentials is a small pharmacy kit with a variety of medications and first aid items.

My mom usually grabs a bottle from the dollar store before each cruise and either leaves it behind for the cabin steward or throws it away at the end of the trip.

My dad says nothing compares to your own pillow and he sleeps much better with this comfort from home.
