Creator's Key Takeaways

We're going to give you 39 of our cruise essentials that we pack on every one of our cruises.

If you're leaving from the US and returning back to that same US port, you can travel with a state-issued birth certificate, a valid birth certificate that is, and a state-issued ID.

The reason we bring our cash is because we want to make sure that when we meet the porter... we get a tips for them and then we have cash tips just in case people on the ships... go above and beyond.

We always make sure that we spray our room down for any germs that's going to be in there and also have our sanitizer to make sure our hands is clean before we start touching stuff.
