Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm going to break it all down, so let's get into it.

It's a gift exchange that happens between cruise guests.

My favorite one was a villains-themed gift.

So, please please don't give slime as a gift and maybe unless kids are older.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Join a Facebook group for your specific sailing to participate in the fish extender exchange.
โœ“Spend about $10 to $15 per stateroom on gifts to keep it affordable.
โœ“Spread out gift deliveries throughout the cruise instead of giving everything on the first day.
โœ“Pack gifts in advance and label them with Ziplocs and Sharpies for easy distribution.
โœ“Avoid giving slime as a gift, especially with young children.
