Creator's Key Takeaways

we've been on a lot of cruises and got on the boat and went a crap forgot this never mind

make sure you have enough Supply to get you through the cruise and maybe a day or two more just in case you get delayed back and forth

if you don't bring it with you and you have to use the ATM on the boat the fees are ridiculously high bucks transaction I don't know seven bucks eight bucks it's up there yeah absolutely ridiculous

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Ensure you have enough prescription medication for the cruise plus extra days
✓Notify your bank and credit cards about travel to avoid card shutdowns
✓Check in online with Carnival four days prior and print boarding documents
✓Get a passport if possible for faster customs processing
✓Charge camera batteries and format SD cards before the cruise
✓Withdraw cash in singles for tips and port expenses to avoid high ATM fees
