Creator's Key Takeaways

I literally take this list with me, it's in the cabin of the cruise ship and as I think of things pa, I should have brought the, you know, whatever, I add it onto the list.

The beauty of having a cruise packing list is that this list gets better with every cruise I take.

I've had a number of occasions on shore excursions where something's happened. I've stubbed my toe or I've managed to cut myself on something.

The key when you're packing for a cruise is find all these products that are as light as possible.

YouTube Video Description↓

In this video I show you a few things that are on my cruise packing list, and explain why you might want to pack these and have them with you on your next vacation. People going on their very first cruise will certainly find this information useful, but I think even experienced cruisers may pick up a few good tips from this. These tips are based on my experience on nearly 50 cruises since 1996, and a few of these things I learned the hard way! With each cruise, my packing list gets a little better. This is an updated version of a cruise packing video I did over a year ago called "Weird Things I Bring With Me On A Cruise". You can watch that video at https://youtu.be/Lox1fsS7nZ0 In the time since that original video, I learned a few things and thought it would be a good idea to make a new version of the video. One of the things I discovered recently was SailPak... a company that makes really great products for people like you and me who like to go on cruises. Visit them at https://zim.sailpak.com and if you decide to buy anything from them, use the promo code Zim at checkout to save 10% on your order. Be sure to check out their line of funny cruise t-shirts!
