Creator's Key Takeaways

I walk on board with just a carry-on and a backpack.

I only ever pack 6 days of clothes at most.

Cruise ships actually provide body wash, soap, shampoo, and conditioner in your stateateroom.

I never bring a hair dryer or an iron with me.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack only 6 days of clothes and use laundry services on longer cruises.
Use travel-size toiletries and skip soap/shampoo as cruise ships provide them.
Bring a USB hub to power multiple devices in cruise cabins with limited outlets.
Wear multi-purpose dark shoes to avoid packing extra pairs.
