I don't do this anymore. I don't take a carry-on unless I don't have a drink package and need to carry on board the the allowed amount of wine or champagne or whatever.

The fact or the thought of bringing a cruise the thought of bringing a power strip on a cruise is is actually kind of stupid for me.

I would be a little bit cautious about this one. If you know you get seasick, then you probably have it covered.

Yes, overpack. Oh my god. Of course, overpack. Especially if you have a week long cruise and there are theme parties and everything, absolutely enjoy yourself.
