Creator's Key Takeaways

I've now been on well over 50 cruises, so hopefully I'll be able to share some useful tips with you.

Generally speaking, most cruise lines don't have limits on how much luggage you can bring with you.

Security screening to board a cruise ship isn't anywhere near as strict or as stressful as when you board a flight, in my opinion.

I was absolutely shocked to then be told that my bag was overweight and that I'd have to pay extra to take that bag on board.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Attach luggage tags to your bags before arriving at the port.
✓Plan to drop checked bags at the cruise terminal if not parking at the port.
✓Check your cruise line's luggage weight limits and policies before heading to the port.
✓Store your suitcase under your bed after unpacking to keep the cabin tidy.
✓Choose a suitcase that stands out for easy identification during disembarkation.
✓Travel with Apple AirTags to track your luggage.
