Man who has been on 50 cruises reveals the one gadget you must pack and can’t afford to forget

There is plenty you should know before embarking on your cruise ship holiday

A Brit who has been on more than 50 cruise ship holidays has revealed the number one gadget you should be bringing with you if you are heading on the open seas.

Cruise ships are incredibly popular holidays, with thousands of passengers taken across the world at any one time via the engineering marvels.

Ranging from a few days to a nine month around the world expedition, there are a variety of options and destinations to choose from when it comes to deciding on what cruise ship you wish to spend your down time on.

One man who knows a thing or two about choosing the correct kind of cruise ship holiday is Bradley Jones.

With 50 holidays on cruise ships under his belt by the time he turned 30, Bradley loves nothing more than heading on to the open seas for a bit of rest and recreation.

Starting off on family cruises when he was a child, he started cruising as an adult once he turned 18 and hasn’t looked back since, celebrating his 30th birthday on board Princess Cruises’ €950 million (£812 million) Sun Princess.

Bradley, from Wales, has achieved ‘elite’ status due to his expeditions, with it giving him a number of hidden perks he can take advantage of every time he heads back on board a cruise.

And after experiencing so many cruises, he also knows a thing or two are the secret costs that’ll leave you significantly out of pocket.

When it comes to packing for a cruise ship, Bradley told LADbible about his ‘biggest tip’ regarding gadgets you should be bringing with you.

And it’s nothing fancy, luxurious or stand out.

No, it’s a pretty standard device. A plug. But not just any plug.

“My biggest tip for cruisers is when it comes to cruising as a couple of family is always take a universal plug adapter,” Bradley told LADbible.

“In a cabin you’ve quite limited some times, especially on an inside cabin. And you’ve got to charge the phones, the kid’s iPads, my hair dryer, straighteners.”

Bradley revealed that many people get caught out, not realising that the cruise ship you’re catching does not have the same plugs as the location that boarding takes place.

He explained: “Some of these companies, such as Princess or Cunard, some of them are American.

“When people catch these ships in Southampton they automatically think they’re British so they take British plugs.

“Last time we cruised there was a British couple who said ‘I didn’t even think, I thought there would be normal British plugs’. That little thing is huge, people need that.”
