hey guys it's Michelle and in today's video we are talking about the essentials that you need to pack for young children on a cruise

having a sick kid on a cruise sucks it's no fun let's be honest my daughter has been sick before on a cruise and it just sucks the life out of the air

I always pack extra clothing I know it's not good for light packing but I never said I was a light packer I just said I pack the essentials

ziplock bags are clutch for travel for packing for staying organized they work as garbage cans um for storing snacks and bringing them on the road with you
