Creator's Key Takeaways

I am traveling solo, so everything you see is what will be coming with us.

We've done a few cruises now, so I am well verssed in what to take.

Iona does have a selection of pools on board, and I do love swimming when I'm on a cruise, providing the pool is at least semiheated.

If you're wondering why I don't have any shampoo, um, conditioner, body wash, etc., That is because that is all included on a PNO cruise and you don't need those products.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Plan your outfits before packing.
βœ“Use packing cubes for organization.
βœ“Take a makeup towel to avoid using ship towels.
βœ“Use in-ear headphones for verbal navigation directions.
