My best tip… if you book an inside cabin you can leave your tv on the channel that has a bridge camera. It will be totally dark at night and provide some light in the morning just like having a window.
That's one of the most dystopian things I've ever heard, but I love the enthusiasm!
I love this!
I'm not OCD by a longshot... but bringing Lysol wipes and doing a thorough clean of all the high-touch things is a very good idea. Yes, the rooms are cleaned before you arrive - but the do not have time to disinfect everything. So it's a good habit to do it right away. Not fun, but it might save you from getting sick. You never know who was in your room and if they had a bug. Five minutes could save you a LOT of grief.
When we get on the ship I always get 2 beach towels to take back to our room to cover the couch. My next suggestion is to bring a small rechargeable fan, especially if you get an inside room. Sanitize all touchable surfaces before unpacking and wash your hands as soon as you get back to your cabin after being out and about the ship. Lastly, I always like to meet the cabin attendant as soon as possible to make any special request like an ice bucket and I will give them $10 per day tip at the beginning of our cruise. This will go a long ways to show how much you appreciate their hard work.
Hint: Magnetic hooks hold heavier weight when hanging from the ceiling than when stuck on the wall.
Buy the ones which hold 50 lb & they stick well to the walls
Ahh🤓
Where do I buy magnetic hooks?
@glenisehall2198 ebay, Amazon, Temu, AliExpress, any of those cheap online shops.

One of my tips, if you do not buy a drink package, is to pack a variety of flavored drink mix envelopes/tubes that you can add to your re-useable water bottle/s because only water, iced and hot tea, lemonade and hot coffee are complimentary on most cruise lines.
love this tysm
GREAT idea!!! Thank you.
This is a great tip! thanks
I like to bring small collapsible cubes from the dollar tree. I put two on the desk and throw all the small stuff in them. Sunglasses, sun block, playing cards... .
I like this. Especially in place of shoe organizers.
Thanks for that hack
Great idea!
Obviously this guy has never awakened every morning to the steward knocking on the door, delivering danish & coffee to eat on the balcony to wake up, then dress, go downstairs to eat the “real” breakfast ha. Pure heaven..
Ladies: a pair of black non wrinkle slacks and 7 blouses for evening wear using same slacks. No one remembers what you wore the night before. I wear a nice blouse during the day with shorts or jeans and change the pants at night to my black slacks.
Awesome tip!
If you going to do this pack some deodarant you smellies
Why in the world would you need 7 blouses? I only packed two pairs of pants and three shirts.
@@richardkinsley2984The tip is clearly for "Ladies" so there's that. Why in the world would you only have 3 shirts unless it's a very short cruise? To each their own.
I like dresses or skirts!
Best cabin hack - stay out of it as much as you can. Anybody can sit in a room and watch TV but that is NOT why anyone would go on a cruise. The ship IS the reason you cruise. All the best fun for everyone. Enjoy the people, the smells and the excitement. My favorite things I love to do on a cruise is to meet new people and see new things. 🥰
Not everyone likes people.
@@lovelycam8631 Then maybe you should stay home. IF YOU Can't find other people interesting, I can't help you. Lighten UP. Have fun 😃
If 10 days or over, some of us would like a rest in early one night.
Eh my last cruise had hardly any activities and the ones they did have were lackluster and that's putting it nicely.
@@lovelycam8631Amen!
Wrinkle Release Spray, Small water bottle sprayer and the hair dryer is the easiest way to get rid of wrinkle. Also if you’re traveling with a woman… a hair flat iron does the trick for wrinkled collars etc.
“If you’re traveling with a woman “…. Lame.
Agree. I used the room hair dryer in the room along with Downey. It works.
I do the hair iron trick ,too.
Thanks!
@@Ginger_AIeyeah, that’s a shipload of assumptions.
One note. The power adapters may convert the outlet from European to US or whatever other type of outlet that you use, but it DOES NOT, convert the voltage of the outlet. It still transmits 220 volts so make sure the device you’re using is multi volt capable.
A lot of power supplies can take a wide range input, I just checked my laptop and it can operate on 100v to 240v. You have to be careful though and just avoid it if you are unsure.
If you are in an interior cabin, have the ship bridge cam on your tv. Gives you an idea of weather, time, etc.
Good tip!
I'll do that because I have an interior room booked.
Some of the Royal Caribbean ships also have virtual balconies, in interior cabins.
@@bethanyaudion9441 Do you recall which ones? Thanks.
@@sandygenier795 Virtual Balconies are available in most* interior staterooms on Symphony of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, Spectrum of the Seas, Anthem of the Seas, Ovation of the Seas, Quantum of the Seas, Navigator of the Seas, Explorer of the Seas, and Voyager of the Seas.
*Please note, not every interior stateroom has a Virtual Balcony.
I don’t think I would ever be able to give up my balcony. We spent a lot of time on ours, especially on the very back of the boat!
Yes…the solitude is worth it.
Beware! Once you try a balcony cabin, you can never go without!
I've been on dozens of cruises. Best advice - get a cabin near your preferred amentities and away from places like kitchens. Best to have cabins both above and below you to insulate from noise. If you like being near the pool, get a cabin a bit higher up, that way you are not running through the whole ship with wet clothes on. If you like being near the promenade, get one mid-ship. Get close to where you will be spending most of your time.
Bring a highlighter. Every morning at breakfast look at the activities calendar and highlight anything you might want to do. That way, during the day, you just have to look for the highlighted activities
Great tip! I did this on my last cruise and I used magnets to post the daily schedule up on the wall
Smart
I just use a regular pen & circle the activities.
A lot of cruises use digital versions now. You can just click on your favorites and it makes a calendar for you
You & Illana from Life Well Cruised have so much awesome information. Thank you.
I just went on a cruise, first time in almost 10 years. I didn’t use the internet or TH-cam for all these tips and tricks back then (not sure if they were around then?).
Anyways, the best tips and tricks I used- the packing cubes (I put laundry dryer sheets in them to keep clothes smelling fresh), put them in closet shelves, put suit case under bed, got magnetic hooks (50-80+ lbs), with the hooks, hung some outside balcony to hang bathing suits, hung them inside (and the magnetic chip clips) for papers, excursions tickets, baseball caps, lanyard/key card, and the mesh shoe holder (I just hung on wall)-it was great for sun tan lotion, sun glasses, medications, hair ties, etc. I think the hooks were a life saver! Also, got the magnetic motion detector night light. That was a life saver too. I hung that on the wall (it slid down but we put some of the magnetic hooks under it and it was good to go). I’d have to say definitely get the magnetic hooks and night light! Oh we also had both European and American plugs. Either way, we had enough outlets for our phones and iPads.
I also got some tiki signs from dollar tree and used magnetic hooks to hang on our cabin door. I got some magnets online Amazon and a personalized sign for our cruise to hang on our door. It definitely helped find our room-easier to find it! I’d have to say a lot of the video has a lot of good hacks. I need to remember not to over pack. That’s what I did and barely wore half the clothes I had. 😂thanks again Matt for all your info on cruising!
IDK, hanging anything outside on the balcony is risky, because strong winds can blow items away. And I know you can't hang anything on the balcony railing!
@@karenbarton6783 that’s true. I hung mine right by sliding glass door. It wasn’t so windy on my cruise. But I can see if it is very windy how that can be a problem
I take a empty set of packing cubes like the ones I have packed. I just pack the dirty clothes as I use them into the spare packing cubes. I use two colors so I can remember which are clean and dirty. I just toss them in a drawer I’m not using or I leave my hard side suitcase folded open and slid under the bed. I just reach under and grab a dirty cube toss my stuff in it and toss it in opened suitcase under bed. The great thing about this is last day most all is packed and in suitcase or easy to toss in suitcase. Makes that packing last day super easy. When I get home take them to laundry room and dump them in the washer.
I've done that with grocery bags as my "dirty laundry bag". Will have to try your idea.
What a great idea, thanks for sharing.
That is a great idea..
I pack in cubes by day, then take out one day and put the dirty clothes in the now empty cube. So much less to deal with when it's time to pack up.
BRILLIANT! Thank you so much.
Im not overpacked! Im well prepared!
Exactly what I tell my hubby! And he always uses those ‘extra things’ I “don’t need to pack”🤯😂😂
I never realized I could of put my luggage under the bed until I saw you mentioning that in an earlier video. BOY! did that say a ton of space
Royal Caribbean if you’re Diamond you get 4 alcohol drinks per day if you don’t use all 4 at the end of the night ask a bar tender for a beer unopened to put in ur frig for the next day. Or leave at end of cruise for cabin steward. They have to pay for drinks on their day off so it’s a nice thing to do. ALSO TIP THEM WELL!!!!!
Although I don't drink beer, Truly is available
I say stuff whatever you want to wear in your luggage. Be fancy, be dancy , be casual, be comfortable. And definitely pack costumes for theme nights.
I never put bags nor clothes anywhere near the bed because if there are any " free bed bugs" in the mattress or carpet under the bed you get to take them home with you. I bet the carpet hasnt been vaccumed thoroughly
I got my kids a magnetic iPad case and downloaded movies. They can stick it to the ceiling and watch laying in the pull down bed.
@7:00 I used to travel all the time for work and I had a flat rubber disc that I could use as a drain stopper so I could to my sock & under garment wash in my room. I also had a 15 foot long fishing line so I could tie it to things in the bathroom and use it as a clothes line. I can't tell you how useful this stuff can be because it not only saves $$$ but also allows you to cut down on the amount luggage you need.
My best tip is: When you have a celebration, birthday anniversary etc, use the magnet hooks and bring your own decorations. I find party City is a great place too pick up cheap and lightweight decorations that pack easy.
That's exactly what I'll do for our next cruise in sept. We be celebrating our 30th anniversary & my birthday on the same day so we'll have a lot of cards
I would never let them pick my stateroom I always pick my own. Thanks Matt
Along, with bringing soap, sunblock, etc. If you fly to the port city, go shopping before your embarkation day so you can buy larger bottles than are allowed on airplanes. Big help on my LA cruise finding enough supplies before arrival and not needing to worry about buying in a foreign port.
Great tip
I'm from Europe and buy USA suncreams once there. They're way cheaper than Europe. And better uv protection when in Florida Bahamas etc. I think Europe has laws about ingredients. Cos I burn more with European sunscreens in those places, but not with usa brands.
But I do like to visit a pharmacy in a fork port just to see what they carry & pick up a toothpaste or lotion to use & bring home. Weeks later I’m smiling as I use that French lotion or Japanese toothpaste.
We were thinking of doing this! Q: where in L.A., near the Cruise Port of San Pedro, did you find was the best for buying toilletries - shampoo, soap, sunscreen, etc.?
11:00 You can get scented trash bags too. I use Gain scented trash bags. That helps with laundry. Especially because those are the really nice stretchy ones.
RE: OTC meds to take with you:
Due to the recent Virgin Voyages 'Scarlet Lady' gastrointestinal illness experienced by 3% of the passengers (appx 80, don't know about the crew), I've ordered extra 5-symptom anti-diarrheals, such as the generic Pepto-Bismol chewables.
The generic 5-symptom tabs would work as well, especially since you have to take them with water, which you lose with diarrhea.
The chewables might work faster, but you wouldn't get the water.
Decorating the door has caveats-they must NOT be paper, due to fire requirements. They must be plastic or laminated.
I believe the metal hook over-the-door multi-storage thingy isn't allowed anymore because of scratches on the door. I purchased a one hanger hook multi-storage item to put on the hook over the toilet. (I checked out our room video and saw how someone did it for that bathroom. )
I always pack a “pharmacy”. Tylenol, Midol, immodium, tums, cold pills, cough pills, bandaids, etc. just take a sample of each and pack in a big ziploc for emergencies. We’ve cruised a lot and stuff happens.
Clear trash bag so nothing gets thrown away in error. 😁
One of the best memories of my last cruise was getting on the wifi at one of our excursions in Mexico, and downloading the latest episode of house of the dragon that came out the day before on my phone via the HBO Max app. Then that night I went on the balcony with a drink and pizza and watched it on my phone while the kids were asleep.
Most apps like Netflix and stuff will allow you to download something and watch it later. It is perfect for the cruise if you get a few things ahead of time. It will certainly be better than what they show on the TV when you relax in your room or get ready.
Cruise or just traveling, my wife has always packed a pillow case to put our dirty laundry in.
Best cabin hack is 4 strong battery chargers for all electronics. Sound machine. Phones. Watches. Cameras speaker. We even being an adapter to use the euro plugs to charge the portable batteries. So often the outlet connections are weak and slow. Bring all the battery chargers
I have just as much fun in an ocean view cabin as I did in the Royal Suite. We play we eat we party we have fun. Yes I love the suite life but I love the party life more.
You’re allowed to carryon a bottle of wine per person in your carryon. Ask the cabin steward for a opener and 2 wine glasses. Carry a glass to dinner into the main dining room.
Not on Norwegian. They will charge you.
Put the wine in an insulated cup that you bring from home
I find the corkscrew they provide is crappy; so; choose a really cool corkscrew in a souvenir shop at your first port and kept it to remember your cruise.
Buy Wine that is Twist Off cap, instead of a cork....
@@B-ch6uk Norwegian does allow, its in their rules. We just did it December 2023.
Whenever Royal resumes Baltic cruises in the summer…you don’t have to worry about a night light 😅 you always had light even at 3am!
In like 6 cruises I don't think I've ever seen sail away. We get on the ship before noon, eat, get a drink, get access to the room maybe 2, do muster, get luggage a bit later, then finally we can unpack and then vacation begins. By that time the ship is moving lol I don't know where we'd fit in the time to go to a party.
So true! The only way I have managed to make it to the sail away party is to be onboard ship at the earliest available time.
I've been on a few cruises and never had any interest in the Sail Away Party. I am usually so busy and on the go on the few days leading up to and on embarkation day(which I thoroughly enjoy wth all the hustle and bustle and anticipation of a great getaway) that once I get to my stateroom, I just want to unpack and rest a few hours in complete silence and darkness, getting used to the motion of the ship. I might even just order room service for dinner. I have the rest of the cruise to be active and do all the things! lol
I never intend on cruising, but there's some solid travel tips here. Ordering coffee the night before is a game changer!
Great video! We’re going on a transatlantic cruise in April for 14 days so I really learned a lot! Thanks.
Compression/vacuum bags work better for me than packing cubes
How do repack them when the cruise is over since you won’t have a vacuum?
Make sure your sun screen is labeled reef safe. Many ports require that.
We love packing cubes. We have different colors for each of us and we’re unpacked and repacked in no time!
I use the same system of different colors for each person.
Awesome! ❤Looks like y’all had a wonderful time❤ Thanks for sharing!❤
My best interior room was on Enchantment, just ahead of the R Bar. Easy access and really dark so I could sleep like a baby.
My best balcony room was on Voyager, the new rooms on Deck 11 exactly ahead of the Solarium.
I will report on the Deck 4 window room on Serenade, next year after the UWC.
Look carefully at your laptop and phone chargers. Many say they can run from 100 to 240 VAC. I got just a plug adapter in Denmark so I can run that stuff with the small, cheap adapter.
The 4-port USB Hub came with adapter plugs for everything, but does not do USB C. Maybe need an upgrade.
We had a Deck 3 window on Serenade this past July, and were very happy with it. It was just far enough away to give us quiet, but close enough that if we wanted to run to R bar for a drink or something, we could.
The packing cube sets include a laundry bag. Simply carry a firstaid kit it doesn't have to be big they have small ones with the essentials items.
Good suggestions, loads apply to land based holidays too, thank you Matt.
Yeah, I'm going to use all this info not only on our October cruise, but also on our November trip to New Mexico!
Along with our packing cubes, we use shrink pack travel bags for our dirty laundry. They are airtight.
On p&0 you get free launderette & irons to use. Only need to take detergent. Makes life so much easier 😊
I pick my own cabin location each cruise and like to choose one that is located on a deck sandwiched between a deck of cabins above and a deck of cabins below if possible. I like the mid section of the ship to be nearer to activities that I like to do. I usually travel solo so I always get a cabin with at least a window. Balconies and junior suites are nice for a bit more space and the balcony is very nice to have. The tips included in this video are mostly ones I use especially the magnetic hooks, extra hangers and bringing my own toiletries especially shampoo and conditioner. The hand soap is nice as the bars tend to dissolve quickly. I also use the packing cubes to unpack and repack quickly.
Is there a reason why you like to pick a cabin with people below you and above you?
@@samboone7687Don't want to hear tables,music and chairs moved around at 3-6 a.m.😮
it may be because if its a dining room or event room it can be very noisy, people running and jumping all hours of the day, chairs getting dragged, music etc, having cabins above and below means you will be insulated and mid day naps willl be possible
We bring mesh laundry bag, not trash bag, as anything remotely damp will smell in little time if not allowed to breathe.
Last 3 RCI cruises, room service breakfast arrived 1 hour to 45 mins late. So I forget that one now. Especially if on their bigger ships. We had to just go up to the Windjammer n bring a coffee back
Matt, thank you for the "shower steam" for getting wrinkles out of your clothes idea. Didn't think about that. And newer ships have a low light in the bathrooms now. The sensor lite doesn't work. I bought one, no bueno! 😮
The dollar tree has great little sensor lights and night lights, i always buy a couple before a trip!
I usexa small spray bottle, add water at your destination. Spritz, shake, wrinkles drop out
Definitely love doing the trash bag trick for laundry and downloading content to phone
My first cruise and hubby and I were in a balcony and kids across the hall in an interior ❤
All I got to say is great content on cruise ship Matt. Keep up the great work.
Matt's posts (as the kids say) GIVE ME LIFE!!! 😀
Can't wait for this. See you in May 25
Dirty laundry tip: instead of a trash bag which holds odors, opt for mesh lingerie washing bags. That way your dirty clothes can "breathe." I use those all the time on travels.
I bought a stack of these in different sizes for less than 8 Euro and use them instead of the all popular packing cubes.
A pillow case!
All useful hacks we used ourselves!! 👍🏼
Motion sensor night lite that makes sence never thought about that thanks
One thing that threw me for a loop on our first cruise. Do NOT count on internet at all the last night! It was completely useless because people would take the one day internet access that night and make travel arrangements for disembarkation. It’s awful!
Bring a cheap battery clock with light, they have no clocks on cruise ships it was nice to be able to look at an actual clock. Bring towel clips for deck chairs very windy and keeps towel on chair. Bring magnets to hang papers and bags, walls are metal
Haven't done RC but any of the other lines and you can bring a power strip. It just has to be non-surge protected.
Tnx for these tips! I love to listen to the ocean when sleeping, so rather than keep the balcony door open, I downloaded ocean sounds on iPad, and let that play all nite. Also, would be amazing if you could provide the links to your suggestions… :)
On Royal Caribbean I’m diamond member and like a cabin forward on deck above or below diamond club so I can get out of bed run up/or down to diamond club for a laté coffee and quickly go back to my cabin and get in bed or sit on balcony and sip coffee till I’m fully awake.
Some cruise lines do not allow door decorations that require tape, but magnets are okay.
Motion sensor lights for the cabin and bathroom! Every friend I have treated to a completely free to them cruise- don’t like nightlights. Go figure. I personally need light so I don’t trip on their stuff all over the floor. The motion sensor light in the cabin was a great alternative.
Love watching these videos :)
Glad you like them!
@@RoyalCaribbeanBlog their amazing :)
I love my over the door shoe rack what I do is put it behind the doorhandle I lose one pocket but that’s OK. I take magnets with clips on them at the bottom of it to hold it to the door so it doesn’t flop around.
Must use 100+ lbs. magnetic hooks or they just slide down the wall when you hang something
1:52 - TVs have a USB port at the back. Plug your phone into it and it will charge. 😉
Veteran of over 23 cruises. Yep, these hacks and tricks are the bomb!
Glad it was helpful!
In regarding clothes, stick to 1-2 colour ways. Pack a few lightweight scarves 🧣that will blend, learn how to tie them to dress up a blocked colour. Plenty vids on TH-cam. I travel with 1x pashmina, tie it to be a shawl, a jacket or a cover up in the islands where too much skin is a “no go“. I pack 3prs of shoes, 2 x casual, 1 dressy plus wearing 1pr = 4 prs. Most ships have a laundrette on each deck. Minimalist is good👍
I cant put smelly dirty clothes in my suitcase were clean clothes go. I use a trash bag like you say and I throw 2 sented bounty softner dryer sheets in there they smell great and they stay fresh smelling the whole trip.
Your dryer sheet idea just went to my shopping list. Thank you
@sherylalleman2659 works flipping amazing I also put one in my trash bin too. No more stink when I open the trash and if it does from like fish I simply throw in 2 more..glad it helped.
Great advice!
The European outlets are used by the cabin steward when they vacuum. It's okay to use while you're in the room, but keep in mind it will get unplugged when the room is serviced. There are European outlets all over the ship, so if you need to use a laptop or charge your phone, they can come in handy. MAJOR WARNING: Those outl;ets are 230V at 50 Hz. Many adapters do not step down the voltage and none will do anything about the frequency. Laptops and most phone chargers can operate at that higher voltage, but YOU have to check if your device can work before you use those outlets.
Motion sensor usb powered TOILET BOWL LIGHT is $5-10 dollars. Clips anywhere and takes no counter space. Pack of 2. Color changing, super bright. YW.
RC’s sister/lux line, Celebrity ,DOES offer shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion.
If you need the savings of weight or space your cleaning toiletries take up, ask to see if you must bring your own.
And I am PICKY, and liked the offered shampoo, conditioner and body wash & lotion.
You can use a power strip, just not one with a surge protector. Ton of them on Amazon that say Cruise Approved.
"Cruise approved' is the decision of the manufacturer...doesn't mean the ship has to allow you to bring it on....
Yes sir very nice 👍🏾
Very helpful!!!
When I travel solo, I use a plastic grocery bag for used socks and underwear. I just hang it on a hanger in the closet and push it down to the end. Works great and keeps such things out of the way.
Great idea. I’ve used a nylon reusable bag, because I have them, and wash when I’m approaching the drying line limit.
I'm meeting friends on a cruise, Royal caribbean Freedom of the Seas....i got a balcony room to myself. It's a bit expensive, but hopefully, it's worth it. My first cruise
You gave great tips. I forgot about using the shower to steam my clothes. I personally prefer to bring my luggage on and off the ship. I don't like to wait and after a mix hap with my bags awhile ago. I just prefer not to now.😊
When I went to the Bahamas it was the time I have ever had
You can use a damp wash clothe to remove wrinkles.
We were smooshed in pool, love to interact with people, had a ball . Everywhere i went packed w people , unfortunately left ship feeling off , had covid
for dirty laundry, get a SCENTED tall kitchen trash bag
Just to add to comment about drink packages, on older vessels as Liberty of the Seas, the soda package does not include Powerade etc. however on Independence they have soda machine located on promenade deck which includes extras. Do your homework before purchasing.
Looking to see how big a suit case I can fit under the bed? Looks like a medium size in the video. I'm sure it differs from ship to ship. Always great Insight from the Podcast and Videos..Thanks
I put 2 big 29 inch suitcases under our bed.
My friend’s hard side suitcase does not fit under the bed.
We’ve found that if you have trouble sliding a big suitcase under the bed, you can lift the bed a bit so it goes right under.
I’ve fit even the largest of our suitcases under the bed.hint, if you don’t zip the suitcase up, it fits more easily under the bed.
We've got a very large suitcase & fits well under the beds.
Bring new flat sheets of laundry detergent & dryer sheets. I also use their shampoo to wash lingerie and hang on the clothesline across the shower. I pack clothesclips for tank tops, etc.
For anti-hangover bring a product called "CHEERS" - they work great when you take them after drinking and before going to bed!
Oh, I’ll have to check that out!
@@RoyalCaribbeanBlog we take FlyBy I am bringing a whole bottle with me on our cruise in a couple weeks 😂
Its a bit of a splurge but if I'm on a longer cruise like over a week, I will take advantage of the ship's laundry services abt two days before disembarking. I will leave out an outfit i don't mind wearing two days in a row or something I can just toss after .
I bought that same motion sensor light and the magnet in it is not strong enough to stay on the wall.
The royal Caribbean phone rep suggested I try the guarantee cabin instead of choosing my own so bad move don't do it I'm stuck on Odyssey of the seas deck 6 cabin 6206 with a lifeboat blocking my ocean view for 8 nights. I specifically said no obscured balcony I was willing to pay more but was talked into the guarantee never again will I do that. My tip get the cabin you want don't listen to a sales rep.
Don’t forget sunscreen and stuff for sunburn. I had to buy aloe on an island because I got sun burn and it was so expensive.
But how do you fly carry-on with enough sunscreen & aloe lotion for a 7 day cruise? I reeeeaaally don't want to check bags on the airplane.
@shawnmarie459 I didn’t fly, so idk. Unless you buy it after you land and before you get to the port.
@@traciepatterson9264 Yeah, I normally don't fly, but I have to this time. It seems like I have to pay premium in the airport after I land, or premium on the ship :(
@@shawnmarie459 Or get in the night before and make a trip to a superstore. :)
Menthol shaving cream helps also
If you put your dirty clothes in a trash bag, use a clear trash bag so you can see which is trash and which is clothes. I have a daylight clock that is great for inside cabins. You set it and it mimics the sun passage
UP NEXT!
pack LED tea lights
This is BRILLIANT!!!
I was amazed ..when we got off a celebrity equinox last month, there was a guy at a desk that was returning steamers confiscated o😮n embarkation. Always have a little can of air freshener.
I'm ordering my hooks now.. Great hacks !
RC always provided shampoo and bath soap and lotion in the past. Did this change?
