Cheap Things I NEVER Cruise Without (Under $5)

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator shares several budget friendly items costing under five dollars that help avoid common frustrations while cruising. To maintain a light packing weight, the creator suggests using reusable plastic travel bottles instead of expensive branded miniature toiletries. To avoid high laundry costs on ships, the creator recommends packing a small bottle of travel wash, which can be used to clean clothing or fabric face masks in a cabin sink. Addressing the issue of losing cruise cards, the creator suggests using a specific sticker on the back of a phone case to hold the card, noting that this method avoids the deactivation issues often caused by placing cards directly inside phone cases. Finally, the creator discusses power management in cabins, noting that many ships have limited or poorly placed sockets. Instead of bringing prohibited extension leads, the creator recommends using a compact adapter that converts a single plug socket into one standard outlet plus two USB ports. These small items are intended to help budget cruisers manage their belongings and expenses effectively.
