Creator's Key Takeaways

Having been on literally dozens of cruises across every major line, I know what's important to bring and what you can leave at home.

While I typically tell people to pack light, there's no shame in being prepared for anything that can happen on your trip.

The walkway from the cruise terminal to your cabin, it can be pretty long.

I'm talking literally. There are hand sanitizer dispensers all over, but it's a smart thing to bring your own so you don't have to hunt for them.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Switch to a four-wheel spinner suitcase for easier navigation.
Pack over-the-counter medicines to avoid expensive onboard prices.
Bring your own hand sanitizer for convenience and health.
Use a portable sound machine or app for better sleep and privacy.
Pack a nightlight to navigate dark cabins safely.
Bring an adapter to expand outlet space, but avoid surge protectors.
