What to pack for your ALASKAN CRUISE: Plus two things we would do differently!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators share comprehensive packing advice based on their recent seven day Alaskan cruise aboard the NCL Encore. They emphasize the importance of planning with spreadsheets and utilizing layers, such as fleece jackets paired with waterproof outer layers, to manage varying temperatures. The video covers essential clothing items like dressy outfits, comfortable walking shoes, and versatile accessories like pashminas. For organization and convenience, they recommend packing cubes, day packs, luggage tag holders, and magnetic hooks for metal cabin walls. They also suggest specific electronics, including backup batteries, Kindles, and phone holders, alongside personal care items like travel jewelry cases and hair diffusers. To address potential discomforts, they discuss earplugs for noise and Scopolamine patches for motion sickness. The creators conclude by identifying two items they would pack differently in the future: they suggest bringing only travel sized bug spray instead of full sized bottles to save space, and they recommend smaller, lighter binoculars to avoid unnecessary bulk and weight in their luggage.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm a planner and I do a spreadsheet a packing spreadsheet where I plan out what each person is going to wear for each activity every single day of the cruise
we did so much research where people said pack bug spray the state bird of Mas the mosquito and you are going to get eaten alive so we listened and we took this giant bottle of bug spray and you know what we didn't use it once
I spoke to my doctor about it and she prescribed me something called fish patches the medication name is Scopolamine patch
we really wanted to make sure that we could see those glaciers up close and personal and I do highly recommend you get a good quality pair of binoculars
