Creator's Key Takeaways

now we often talk about what not to pack for a cruise so in this video i'm going to tell you 13 things that you can absolutely leave at home do not bring

the first thing not to pack to definitely leave at home is an iron and also a clothes steamer

you can leave behind probably at least one third of the clothes that you plan on packing the clothes and the shoes so you don't really need to bring as much as you think

make sure not to bring a power strip with an extension cord on board your cruise ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a garment bag or use wrinkle release spray instead of an iron
Order coffee or tea from room service instead of bringing a coffee maker
Don't bring beach towels; the cruise line provides them
Ask your cabin attendant for more hangers if needed
Bring your own toiletries if you prefer specific brands
