Creator's Key Takeaways

Don't pack a lot of stuff. There's not a ton of space to put things.

We don't think it's necessary to book the most expensive room on a river cruise.

One thing I will say that I regret is not packing any slippers or easy to put on shoes.

Pack your favorite insulated coffee cup with a lid.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Don't pack a lot of stuff due to limited cabin space.
✓Book a basic cabin instead of the most expensive room.
✓Pack slippers or easy-to-wear shoes for walking around the ship.
✓Bring an insulated coffee cup with a lid.
✓Research your ports and transport options before the cruise.
✓Check accessibility options with your cruise line if needed.

Port accessibility — Check accessibility options with the cruise line before booking.
