Creator's Key Takeaways

I think that people think a cruise is a cruise is a cruise, and it's just not really true.

You can do as much or as little as you want. You don't have to go to every activity.

Don't be afraid to dress up on the ship because you're not going to regret that.

If you have longer, thicker hair, I would 100% recommend bringing your own blow dryer.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Create a color palette for your clothes so everything is interchangeable
Bring your own high-powered hair dryer and styling tools
Pack 10 times more socks than you think you need
Wear your sun hat on the plane to save luggage space
Download movies and games before a flight
Bring a lightweight hydration pack (camel back) for port days
