Creator's Key Takeaways

There are some admittedly boring but very useful things that I pack for almost every cruise and travel experience.

I didn't bring on my recent cruise. I didn't think that I would need it and I was wrong.

Now, just a quick mention. If you are sailing on Royal Caribbean in particular, those types of non-s surge protected power cubes are actually not allowed anymore

This was amazing. You could lean your head forward a little bit. I couldn't believe the difference even having a sleep mask made
