Creator's Key Takeaways

Today we're talking about something that can make or break your first day on board, your imbarcation day bag.

If you're new to cruising, this is the bag you carry with you while you wait for your luggage to be delivered to your room.

Your bags might not show up until late afternoon or the evening. So, you don't want to be stuck without them.

It's the fastest and easiest way to get the vacation started.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Pack travel documents, passport, boarding pass, and cruise line check-in documents in an easy-to-reach pocket.
โœ“Include any prescription or over-the-counter medications you might need the first day.
โœ“Pack a swimsuit, cover-up, and flip-flops to start your vacation quickly.
โœ“Bring electronics and chargers, as your cabin may not be ready right away.
โœ“Pack snacks and an empty water bottle to stay fueled during transfers.
โœ“Include a mini toiletry kit with lip balm, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, and deodorant.
