Creator's Key Takeaways

This is all about the things that have made our life helpful on a cruise ship or we've gotten somewhere and realized I wish I had that.

We also are not going to cover clothing, what you may need for a specific cruise line, any of your toiletries, just the common things that you would take on a cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Pack a lightweight rain jacket and keep it in a plastic bag to manage wet items.
βœ“Use an eSIM to save money on international data instead of daily carrier roaming fees.
βœ“Bring a small travel detergent and sponge to clean reusable water bottles and coffee cups.
βœ“Carry a portable luggage scale to avoid overweight bag fees at the airport.
βœ“Bring magnetic hooks to utilize cabin wall space for hanging items.
