Creator's Key Takeaways

Irons and steamers. Don't even think about tossing an iron or clothes steamer in your suitcase.

Beach towels. They're big, bulky, and take up too much space. Leave them at home.

Hard liquor. Trying to sneak in vodka or whiskey? Cruise lines have cracked down hard.

Refillable water bottle. Lightweight, spillproof, and easy to carry on excursions.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Leave irons and steamers at home due to fire hazards.
Use cruise-provided towels instead of bringing your own.
Bring a refillable water bottle instead of plastic bottles.
Pack a non-surge power bar with USB ports for cabin outlets.
Carry small bills for tipping and port shopping.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Bringing too many clothes and shoesPlan ahead with a simple outfit planner; max out at three pairs of shoes.
Forgetting to return pool towelsRemember you're responsible for returning towels to avoid a $20-$25 charge.
