Creator's Key Takeaways
the reason why I say a hanging toilet toiletry bag and this has a hook on the inside is because space is very limited in your cruise cabin
any medications that you might need last minute on your cruise is going to be severely marked up unless you wait to get to land
you are not allowed to bring heat element tools such as an iron a candle warmer um you can't bring a kettle nothing that heats up
