Creator's Key Takeaways

Packing for a cruise is different from packing for almost any other vacation.

We strongly recommend traveling with a passport. It makes the embarkation process smoother.

One of the best cruise packing items you can bring is a non-surge protected outlet adapter.

Choose clothing pieces that can be mixed and matched.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack your travel vault (passport, boarding documents, Medallion) in your carry-on first.
Bring a non-surge protected outlet adapter and long charging cable for cabin power.
Pack swimwear, a change of clothes, and essentials in your carry-on for embarkation day.
Choose neutral, mix-and-match clothing to pack lighter while having options.
Use magnetic hooks and a foldable laundry hamper to organize your cruise cabin.
