Editorial Summary

The creator, Sherry from Cruise Tips TV, provides a detailed walkthrough of her packing process for a ten night cruise to the Mexican Riviera. Because the family is driving to the port, she explains that they are not restricted by airline luggage limits, allowing for a more moderate approach to packing. The video is organized by bag type, beginning with a backpack intended for embarkation day and excursions, followed by a carry-on bag, and finally the large suitcases. She details specific items for herself, her husband, and her seven year old son, including clothing, toiletries, and specialized gear. Key categories covered include formal and casual dinner attire, swimwear, medical supplies, and stateroom essentials like magnets and power strips. Sherry also highlights cost saving measures, such as packing soda and laundry supplies to avoid shipboard fees. The video concludes with a view of the completed luggage, which consists of two large suitcases, a carry-on, and two backpacks.

Creator's Key Takeaways

I have never had one confiscated in all of my 20 plus cruises so please don't worry about it take one of these if you're cruising on an older ship

I am going to be doing laundry on the ship so I could have packed a little bit more heavily than I did but I did decide to keep it on the moderate side

I'm going to show you every single dress that I am packing for myself I'll go into a little more detail on what's in my clothing area rather than showing you all of my husband's clothes

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack a swimsuit in your carry-on or backpack so you can change quickly and go to the pool before your luggage arrives
Bring a power strip (not a surge protector) for older ships with limited outlets
Use a hanging toiletry bag to save space in the stateroom bathroom
Pack a small folder with all printed documentation, excursion receipts, and a laminated itinerary
