Pack magnetic hooks to hang your toiletry bag on the bathroom wall instead of using the little sink space that's there. Get 30 pound or greater hooks and you can use them to hang up your outfit or beach bag/excursion pack on the walls in the rest of the room. I'm using them at home to hang up extra towels in the bathroom and my clothes for when I get out of the shower (the door hook is stubby but matches the rest of the 2 towel bars & sink/bathtub faucets). A cheap solution for home and travel.
Always take a photo of your passport page (the one with the photo) save it in your phone and to the cloud. If you passport goes missing it is easier for the embassy to replace.
In addition to COLORED copies of your passport and driver's license, I also include all credit cards, front and back, husband's military DD214 papers, itinerary of trip along with where stayed and tour company, possibly copy of s.s. card, front and back of all medicare and insurance cards. It sounds ridiculous, but when I lost my passport in Rome, I was told 3 days to issue new one. I then showed them this info I had copied. I was then told they'd have my new (temporary) passport ready within an hour. (Note: I take these copies with me whenever I get off the ship and give a copy to my husband in case he needs it.

@@sirmay50 I like to hang shirts and empty socks and underwearvinto the drawers. The idea of a cruise is you only have to unpack ONCE, not live out of a suitcase.
Pack post it notes, pens and highlighter markers as well to leave notes for your travel mates and you can highlight stuff on the daily schedule you get. This is fun to do over breakfast. Glow sticks are fun too for the weekly party’s on the deck.
Your carry on luggage has to be small enough to fit through the conveyor scanner just like at the airport. Check in your large suitcases. Small suitcases, backpacks etc will fit.
There is a luggage limit on cruises. MSC e.g. has a limit of 2 suitcases and 2 hand luggage per person not exceeding 100kg. Celebrity has max 90 kg. Carnival has weight limits as well. Other cruise lines have similar limits. The real limit is often what airlines permit if you fly in for the cruise.
If you pack your one free bottle of wine/champagne in your checked in luggage it will be confiscated. You have to carry your wine/champagne on with you as a carry on not checked.
I bought the Lalage Beaumont Fontyn in medium tan last week at kislux and since receiving it I have been using it and neglecting my designer collection (honeymoon period maybe) , but I was really impressed with the quality and timing, right down to how they used it. Will wear it. I wish they would make this bag in a variety of pinks (i. e. sakura pink). There are actually many options to choose from.
We like taking magnetic hooks. We used a small USB fan and aimed it toward the swimsuits and wet shirts hung along the wall. I also use towel bands like someone else on here commented.
You forgot bars of: shampoo, conditioner and body wash take way less room in your luggage and more rrom in your liquids bags if traveling on a plane before your cruise!
The luggage weight consideration is not just a personal one, do not forget the crew who have to move thousands of items around the the ship. There is a health and safety issue with manual handling which is governed by law (well in the UK at least) you personally are not covered by it but the crew are at their place of work so they most defiantly are.
thanks to you I claimed back money from RCL for 2 no show guests that even my Fabulous travel agent wasn't aware of went towards another cruise but got it refunded as cash first THANKS TO YOU GOD BLESS
We recently sailed Royal Caribbean on one of the older ships. We took outlet adapters - after the policy change - and no one called us on it. This policy change came after one of the new mega ships had a fire. Coincidence?
The only piece of advice that I do not totally agree with is about the universal benefit of four wheel rolling luggage. In an airport or other smooth flooring, they are great. On rougher surfaces and going up and down stairs the older two wheel variety is better because the wheels are bigger. The two wheels are better protected up inside the bag, while four wheels are sticking out and more prone to damage. On a recent flight to Fort Lauderdale for a Princess cruise the airline managed to nearly rip off one wheel. My room steward helped me tape it up to limp back home. Also the four wheels stick out reducing the interior bag volume. The two wheelers are more space efficient.

Also pics of driver's license and both sides of credit cards.
ALSO, take a picture of the last page of your passport, specifically that long bar code number.

Keep camouflage items at home.
but nobody will see them
@@suave-riderLast time i wore camoflauge in the pool I was arrested at bahamas port and had to get my own way home since nobody could see them
@@True.talesssComedy is hard.
@@True.talesssthey came on the ship and arrested you? If not you wore it off the ship. Camo is. prohibited on many of the islands.
@@susanjackson8066 OH ACTUALLY??? LMAO
One of the best videos I’ve seen about cruising . Detailed but straight to the point. Thanks for sharing
I use magnetic clips to hang excess bags, clothes, etc.
Camo wear on ship only, many Caribbean islands, it's a no no.
Fast approaching 100k! 🥳
We always leave the bathroom light on and crack the door open. Never a problem.
best thing I've done is bring a pop-up clothes hamper. definitely helps with cabin organization
I always use packing cubes. They keep me organized and pack efficiently . Most of my clothing items stay in the cubes until worn.

This also deters thieves, they opened my suitcase and took apart my AirTag🤦♀️

I bought a battery powered votive tea light candle at Dollar Tree five or six years ago for our cruise and it still works! No outlet needed!
That's a great idea.
Good tips thanks. First cruise in 2026 on horizon

How would they know. Do they check inside
@@crena64it goes through a scanner like carry on. Put corkscrew in checked bag, not allowed in carry on.
Towel bands are better than the clips
Good to know.

Or you could use the hairdryer on the bathing suits when not too wet.
Great tips!
Muchas gracias por tu información, seguro que me será muy útil!! 😊
De nada!

Water spritzed on clothing from a small spray bottle works just as well to rid your clothes of wrinkles.
Great info. Thanks

I bought a motion activated magnetic light to put on bathroom ceiling for middle of night trips. Uses 2 “AA” batteries
That's a great idea. Found it on Amazon?
Yes, for about $18.00. It has a rotating base.
thanks to you I claimed back money from RCL for 2 no show guests that even my Fabulous travel agent wasn't aware of went towards another cruise but got it refunded as cash first THANKS TO YOU GOD BLESS

Carnival Cruise says no more Bluetooth speakers anymore go get some earbuds! And for the Taylor Port wine security will snatch it up!
I pack a flat iron to use for my clothes.
Not allowed on most cruiselines now. I don't know what punishment you would get if you start a fire.
@ It’s no different than bringing a curling iron.
Magnetic clips and hooks.

Its really not rocket science !
And yes most travel takes a varity or clothing options i do land trips and cruise trips
Wear things twice? That's not going to happen
😂
Im big and noticeable yes ppl will realize if i wear something twice😂@rhondillon5056
@@Michael-rx6ji agree. I throw socks and underwear out after wearing once.
Oh, yes it does happen.
3 or 4 outfits on a 7 day cruise is criminal😂
Hahah. Honestly, how many do you pack?
Video is good.. your voice keeps going up and down.. making it hard to understand
Re: your 'no weight limit" comment: Royal Caribbean have a 90kg limit/ passenger. Not that you would ever need that much!!!! 🧳🧳🧳🧳🧳🧳
Ever seen them weigh anyone's bag?
