🛳️ Personal Travel Tip- Trust me on this one! 🛳️

On my recent (and chilly!) December river cruise, I forgot a waterproof bag for my phone and regretted it during spa and bath trips. Don’t make the same mistake! 🛁

Bonus tip: Leave the hair straighteners at home—many river cruise lines don’t allow them due to voltage limitations and adapter compatibility. Don’t worry, though—they’ve got plenty available on board to borrow.
