Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm in the spare room of our house and it's a multi-purpose room that I use to store my model trains and also to pack before a cruise

After 43 cruises, I've learned through trial and error what to bring along with me on a cruise vacation.

My packing list contains a few things you probably haven't thought of.

I imagine that a few people might even think a few of these are weird.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Bring a beach bag for shore excursions to pack towels, sunblock, and band-aids.
โœ“Use a 6-outlet power strip without a surge suppressor for charging electronics in cabins with few outlets.
โœ“Bring a converter for European-style outlets on cruise ships.
โœ“Carry a pocket-sized flashlight for nighttime bathroom trips.
โœ“Use a portable electronic luggage scale to meet airline weight limits.
โœ“Bring noise-cancelling headphones for flights and poolside relaxation.
