Creator's Key Takeaways

packing for a cruise can get a little confusing there's tons of information out there that can lead you to believe you need everything that will fit into your suitcase but you really don't

most cruise ships these days come with in room dryers that will do the trick even if they aren't perfect

many cruise lines are prohibiting the use of power strips these days so ditch the strip and go with a USB charging hub instead

one of the best things about cruising is that you'll have lots of food options on your cruise so don't waste too much suitcase space on snacks
