Cruise Hacks, Tips, & Tricks 2019

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides a comprehensive list of twenty cruise hacks categorized into booking, communication, and packing tips. For booking, the creator suggests booking at least a year in advance or at the very last minute to secure better rates, remaining flexible with travel dates, and booking the lowest room category to potentially upgrade later. The creator advises booking directly with cruise lines and suggests avoiding expensive shore excursions through the cruise line in favor of independent companies. Regarding communication, the creator recommends using onboard messaging apps or social media packages instead of full Wi-Fi to save money, and suggests using a travel router to share a single Wi-Fi connection among multiple people. Packing advice includes bringing seasickness remedies like ginger, cruise-approved power strips, portable batteries, and reusable water bottles. The creator also suggests using magnet hooks for organization and towel clips for lounge chairs. The video concludes with a recommendation for activated charcoal as a preventative measure or remedy for stomach issues like norovirus or food poisoning.
