Creator's Key Takeaways

I think excursion prices are ridiculous. Not on all cruise lines, to be fair, but on the majority of cruise lines.

Comfortable shoes. Yes, definitely comfortable shoes because you'll be exploring and going walking around the ship, but also in the ports that you're there.

Take a picture of your cases before you leave home because they will ask and it's hard to explain.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Take a picture of your luggage before you leave home in case it gets lost.
βœ“Split your clothes between two suitcases so you have essentials if one bag is delayed.
βœ“Use magnetic hooks in your cabin to hang items.
βœ“Consider Princess Plus package for drinks, Wi-Fi, and gratuities.
βœ“Take seasickness medication the day before if you're prone to it.

Packing for a cruise β€” Focus on essentials like passport, money, medications, and comfortable shoes. Everything else can be bought on the ship if needed.
Seasickness β€” Take medication the day before you sail if you're susceptible, and ensure it's in your system before the ship moves.
