Creator's Key Takeaways

I completely love the Southampton to Southampton cruises.

On a typical seven night voyage, you could expect to have two gala knights and five smart attire knights.

They're cocktail dresses or uh beautiful huge ball gowns or whatever that you can't be overdressed.

It's really nice to have some some dollars that you can show your appreciation that way and it will be appreciated.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack medications in hand luggage, not checked luggage.
Bring a USB and USBC hub for extra charging ports.
Use magnetic hooks for additional storage in the cabin.
Take advantage of the wine/champagne allowance to bring two bottles on board.
