Creator's Key Takeaways

Packing for a cruise sounds easy, until you actually start packing. Because one minute you're packing sunscreen and swimsuits, and the next thing you know, your suitcase is overweight.

One thing I always try to bring and make sure I recommend bringing is a USB hub, portable chargers, and extra charging blocks.

I'll hang my hats up, um, lanyards, bags, swimsuits, backpacks, and especially in smaller cabins, this helps to keep things organized.

Honestly, one of the best cruise packing tips I can give is this. Pack for comfort, not perfection.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pack magnetic hooks to utilize metal cabin walls for extra storage.

✓Bring a USB hub and portable chargers due to limited outlets in older ships.

✓Pack motion sickness medication and first aid to avoid high onboard medical costs.

✓Focus on neutral, repeatable clothing pieces rather than many different outfits.

✓Avoid packing high heels as ships can sway, making walking difficult.

✓Check prohibited item lists, specifically regarding camouflage clothing in the Caribbean.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Overpacking and overweight suitcases — Focus on comfortable, repeatable pieces and avoid bringing too many shoes or dressy outfits.

Forgetting important documents — Double-check passports (valid for 6 months), birth certificates, boarding documents, and visas.

Cabin darkness — Bring a small nightlight, especially if staying in an interior cabin.
