Creator's Key Takeaways
Time blindness is real and packing is one of those tasks that feels really really far away until it's too late to get it done
Your packing list needs to be way more granular than you think it does. Not just toiletries.
I put an Air Tag in every bag that I have with me, sometimes two.
If you forget a non-medication item, it is not the end of the world.

Packing for a cruise when you have ADHD doesn't have to be a wall of overwhelm. In this video I'm sharing the strategies that actually work for neurodivergent brains. Everything from building a granular packing list to using compression cubes, a visual launchpad, and a capsule approach to clothes. Topics covered: - Time blindness & when to actually start packing - How to build a granular packing list (and why "toiletries" isn't enough) - Talking it out — finding your method for getting it out of your head - The bed launchpad method - Compression packing cubes & how I organize mine - AirTags & trackers — why every bag needs one (personal story included) - Capsule packing — the concept & why fewer items wins - Shore excursion day essentials - What to do if you forget something 👋 ABOUT ME: I'm AJ. I am not autistic. I am an ADHD adult with sensory needs. I am also a Certified Autism Travel Professional, a mom to an autistic son, and a wife to an autistic husband. I solo cruise more than I family cruise. 🎥 More Videos You Might Enjoy: What to Expect on Embarkation Day: https://youtu.be/9WOcW4QDBzo Puerto Plata Sensory Tips: https://youtu.be/FC9GGHGzz9U How to Find Quiet Spaces: https://youtu.be/Zg389ELpAH4 🔗 Book with me: https://bytesizecruises.com/book-with-aj 📩 Subscribe for More Content: Don't forget to hit the subscribe button and turn on notifications so you never miss out on our latest videos about cruising and planning an amazing cruise vacation. https://www.youtube.com/@AJByteSizeCruises?sub_confirmation=1 💬 Join the Conversation: Leave a comment below with your thoughts or questions about today's video.
