Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm a boy mom again family of five three boys ages 10 almost 11 seven almost eight and just turned 2-year-old

we're going to be on the fourth sailing of the icon we are doing the Western Caribbean itinerary um next week

I calculate seven per day um for my trip and then I also bring additional diapers in my diaper bag just kind of as a backup

I number them so I take a little piece of tape and I just put a number on there for whatever night we're going to wear that

Use packing cubes to organize clothes by child and by day
Pack a separate bag for pre-cruise hotel stay to avoid opening suitcases
Number evening outfits with tape to easily match family for dinner
Bring a travel wallet to keep passports and documents organized
Pack a 'bag of fun' with toys, books, and activities for kids on the plane
