Did you know that Royal Caribbean confiscates surge protectors and power strips?
If your family is like mine, a USB hub is essential as you will have a lot of electronic devices that need to be charged during your cruise.
The USB hub takes up one outlet in your cabin, but you can use six new USB outlets to charge everything at once.

If you want to print a Royal Caribbean luggage tag, it must be attached to your luggage. Because it is made of paper, it is easily torn or accidentally torn.

If you’ve ever tried to get out of bed at night with all the lights off on a Royal Caribbean cruise, you know how dark the room can get (especially if you’re inside).
The battery-powered Night Night means you can easily move around the room without having to leave the lights on.
Additionally, they are motion activated. So the lights are off unless needed.

One of the best tips for cabins is to purchase magnetic hooks that you use to add extra storage to your room.
The walls of the cabin are made of metal. This means you can place your magnetic hooks anywhere.
Royal Caribbean ships have very little storage space and magnetic hooks make it easy to hang clothes and accessories.
