      Thanks! Love the name! So true. We always end up making a list so we don't forget something. But then find out we forgot to add something to the list! LOL

    Between myself & my family members we’ve been on over 50 cruises. YOU CAN if you like bring all or any of these wonderful items you two mentioned. The cooling towel was a huge deal over Europe this summer with this extreme heat. Thanks for information. Mix & match packing will help in less stress.

    I’m loving all of you guys videos! Me and my fiance r getting married soon and then going on a cruise for our honeymoon! We’re beyond excited and have been watching all the carnival elation videos and more! I feel we are definitely prepared for our first cruise!

      TYVM! Congrats on the wedding!!!! The Elation is a great "starter" cruise. On the small side for today's ships, but we loved it! Have a great cruise!

    In addition to the medicine you mentioned, I also pack bug repellent lotion and after-bite lotion every time we travel.
    Not related to medicine, I always bring Poo Pourri for each of our cabins. Since this product was introduced to the market, we have never traveled without it. 😊
    For motion sickness, try Gravol Ginger capsules (made in Canada). It works like a charm. The main ingredient is ginger so no drowsiness at all. My daughter who is prone to motion sickness. When we were on a whale watching trip in our recent cruise in Alaska, my daughter took 1 capsule an hour prior to getting on the boat, and she felt no motion sickness at all despite the fact that the sea was a bit rough and it was rainy that day. When we were at Vancouver airport, I saw all the stores sell Gravol Ginger. It seems this is the #1 motion sickness natural medicine in Canada. It was only sold for CAN $12/ box (20 capsules) in stores at Vancouver airport, but I paid $18 to get it from Amazon from the US before our cruise.

      Hi! Sometimes we bring those bug bands, but for some reason it never seems to make it in our must pack list. We should get that added.
      My Amazon order of Poo Pourri is being delivered today!
      Kim is scared to try the Ginger just because she knows the Bonine works for her. But I might order the Ginger and get her to try that next time!

      @seatrippinwkimandscott  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for the wonderful tips! I'd like to add this: when buying sun block, go ahead and get the "reef safe" kind. Many cruise lines require it, and it's good to know that you're not harming the marine life when enjoying the ocean. :D

    • @seatrippinwkimandscott
      @seatrippinwkimandscott  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is a very good point! We will make sure we mention this in our videos going forward! Just the other day we found some reef safe suncreen at Wal-mart that wasn't very expensive. We are excited to give it a try!

    If you use the electrolyte mix, BEFORE you go out drinking (chug a glass if you must😁) it works as PREVENTION for hangovers instead of treatment. Give it a try! You feel bad cause your body is low on electrolytes, so if you build them up before you dilute your system, it makes a huge difference. Thanks for sharing this video! Subbing now!

    I’ve been on 20 cruises. You DO NOT need cups, magnetic hooks, chair clips, night lights, hats, ponchos, water proof phone case, extra batteries , fans, sound machines, clocks, towels or 25 outfits. Keep your luggage light and lower stress. Haha. I see people getting on a ship like they are moving in and yelling at each other. It’s hilarious. Don’t take all that stuff.
