Editorial Summary

The creator provides a list of eight items that Royal Caribbean includes on board but suggests passengers bring their own versions to improve comfort and quality. The first recommendation is tissues, as the provided options are described as having a low quality similar to sandpaper. The creator also suggests bringing personal shampoo and body wash, noting that the provided two-in-one products are generic and may not meet the needs of those with specific hair requirements. For hair care, a personal hair dryer is recommended because the ship's provided models can be underpowered. To manage electronic devices, the creator advises packing a specific type of outlet extender that complies with cruise line rules by featuring only one AC outlet. Other suggestions include bringing a personal pillow for better sleep, an alarm clock for scheduling, bottled water for taste and convenience, and prepackaged snacks for easy access in the cabin. The creator concludes by noting that while these items are available or provided, bringing personal alternatives enhances the overall cruise experience.
