Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm not here telling you you need to be a light packer because honestly, that would be very hypocritical of me.

An all-inclusive cruise is not the same as an all-inclusive hotel on land.

Do not fly to your cruise ship the same day that you are joining your cruise ship.

As soon as you get on board your cruise ship, put your phone on flight mode.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Leave 1 kg of weight allowance for purchases if flying to your cruise.
Fly to your cruise departure city at least one day early.
Put your phone on flight mode and set time updates to manual.
Choose a cabin in the middle of the ship surrounded by other cabins.
Book shows and dining in advance.
Pack hand luggage for the first day in case checked luggage is delayed.
