Creator's Key Takeaways

In several popular Caribbean countries, including Jamaica, Barbados, and Antigga, and Barbuda, it is illegal for anyone who is not in the military, to wear camouflage print.

The number one rookie mistake a firsttime cruiser can make is bringing a brand new pair of shoes they haven't broken in yet.

Your vacation is a shared space with thousands of other people from all walks of life, including children and seniors.

The golden rule is that your scent should be discovered, not announced.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Avoid camouflage print in Caribbean ports due to local laws.
βœ“Break in new shoes before your cruise to prevent blisters.
βœ“Leave expensive jewelry locked in your cabin safe during port days.
