Creator's Key Takeaways

one of the biggest perks of cruising is that you only need to unpack your suitcase once

if you try to pack a steamer or an iron in your bag you can expect it to get confiscated when boarding

I've cruised to Alaska a few times now the first time to Alaska I severely underpacked

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Keep important documents and money on your person when boarding
✓Avoid bringing steamers or irons due to fire hazard rules
✓Bring your own preferred shampoo and conditioner instead of relying on cruise-provided products
✓Use a non-surge protected, cruise ship-approved power extender for charging devices
