Bradley, from Wales, has gone on so many cruises that many operators have awarded him “elite” status, granting him a range of extra perks.
But for all the luxuries he can enjoy on his travels, his one must-have is much simpler.
When packing for a trip, his top priority is to make sure a particular gizmo is always in his bag.
He told LadBible: “My biggest tip for cruisers is when it comes to cruising as a couple of family is always take a universal plug adapter.
“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.
“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.”
The adapters can be found with UK three-prong or USB input ports connecting to an adjustable set of plugs that can match multiple sockets.
Some can be used on all 15 sockets across the world, while others offer 3-in-1, 4-in-1 or 5-in-1 options.
They can be picked up online, in electronics shops or in supermarkets.
On Amazon, the most popular example is on offer for £14.999 with £4.49 delivery.
It comes after another experienced holidaymaker shared seven must-have items for trips to holiday parks.
