11 Overrated & Underrated Cruise Tips!

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator evaluates various pieces of cruise advice to distinguish between tips that are overrated and those that are underrated. He identifies packing a bathing suit in a carry-on as an underrated strategy for enjoying pool decks and water slides on embarkation day without long lines. Conversely, he labels the advice to avoid overpacking as overrated, noting that having extra clothing is preferable to rationing items. He also suggests that bringing personal drinks can be more of a hassle than the convenience of a drink package provides. Regarding logistics, the creator argues that using a travel agent is highly underrated for managing reservations and issues. He also challenges the notion that passengers should avoid cabins near elevators, suggesting that the convenience of proximity outweighs potential noise concerns on modern ships. Other overrated items include purchasing the Key package, using over-the-door shoe organizers, and buying expensive cameras when smartphones are sufficient. Finally, he recommends bringing a laundry hamper and outlet adapters as underrated tools to improve the quality of life and device charging capabilities while on board.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I think it's very underrated to bring your bathing suit with your carry-on because clearly even though this device has been out there for a while people aren't doing it
I'd much rather or have an extra pair of shoes or a couple of outfits I don't wear then having to constantly be worried about am I gonna have a clean shirt for tomorrow
I just can't convey in words how important it is to use a travel agent because it it's not about just booking a cruise
I would argue having said in many cabins near the elevator lobbies that is not so much of an issue of being woken up or disturbed by people walking by your cabin
