Creator's Key Takeaways

Last time we did a Maine Windjammer Cruise, the first time, we were shocked how cold we were.

It is so windy out there, so if you have long hair of any kind, you're going to want a headband.

There's no Wi-Fi on the ship, not even if you take a hotspot in the ocean, so things to keep you entertained are great.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack plenty of layers including a waterproof raincoat and sweatshirts because it gets cold on the water.
Bring a headband if you have long hair to manage the wind.
Use soft or collapsible luggage to save space in small cabins.
