Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm just back from a seven night Sky Princess Scandinavian cruise where I challenged myself to test out eight cruise tips I think cruisers massively underestimate

I too did not fully follow this underrated tip about not posting personal information and it caused me a big problem

Staying on board on pool days is very underrated, especially if on large ships with lots of facilities which are packed and hard to access on sea days

Another underrated packing tip, and one I did for this trip, as all of them, is to bring a personalized first aid kit

Creator's Tips & Advice

Never post booking documentation or personal information on social media
Avoid the buffet on embarkation day and use alternative dining venues
Stay on board during port days to enjoy ship facilities with fewer crowds
Pack smart to self-disembark early and avoid waiting for allocated slots
Split clothes between cases when flying to join a cruise
Bring a personalized first aid kit to avoid medical center visits
