Creator's Key Takeaways

We brought our largesiz level eight luggage, two each, and then we also brought our new roll-on level eight luggage and then one backpack each.

My favorite thing is to go to a local ATM in that country and draw it out. that seems to give you the best exchange rates.

We have a few booked through the ship. We love Shore Excursions Group, Viaur, all of those.

I love having a wall calendar. You wake up and it helps.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check passport validity: must not expire within 6 months of return date.
βœ“Use the US Department of State Visa Wizard for visa requirements.
βœ“Get travel insurance that covers the full trip duration; check for repatriation coverage if visiting New Caledonia.
βœ“Use local ATMs for currency exchange for the best rates.
βœ“Download translator apps and maps for offline use in ports.
