Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm 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.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Use packing cubes to organize your suitcase.
โœ“Take a makeup towel to avoid using cruise line towels for cleaning brushes.
โœ“Use in-ear headphones for verbal navigation to avoid looking lost.
โœ“Bring a first aid kit to avoid paying medical center fees on board.
