The silly tiny thing I have forgotten to bring on the cruise multiple times that I've beaten myself up about is my own lanyard. It doesn't occur to people until they're handed that keycard that is also their id card that they have to keep on them at all times... as a girl with no pockets in her dresses (or swimsuits), it gets to be a nuisance to have to carry a purse just so I can always get back into my room. And buying one on the cruise ship is always way more expensive than it needs to be.
We bring poopouri as well. Also don't forget the bleach wipes to wipe down your cabin. Sure the cabin is clean, but it never hurts to give it an additional wipe down. No one wants to get sick on a cruise.
bring over the counter medicines such as dramamine, tylenol, pepto bismol and antacids. They are cheap at home and expensive on the ship.
Always love your practical travel advice! Going on a Disney cruise in September and would have never thought of the air freshener! 😊
I'm so glad you have visited Croatia. I'm from Croatia and I really hope you make a video about it.
Haha the poo pouri works awesome. Used it for years.
Thanks from a first time cruiser for these wonderful tips !!!!
Mark,
I was glad and surprised to see you on Croisi Europe. We cruised with them a couple of years ago, and we plan to again soon. The excursions and crew were all excellent, but the highlight was the FOOD. French cuisine expertly prepared by a totally Hungarian chef and kitchen staff. We couldn't resist going backstage to let them know how much we enjoyed their efforts. We assumed he was trained by Jacques Pepin, but he said no, it was his grandmother. Anyway, great advice on what not to forget on a cruise.
Wow, oddly enough I'm going on a cruise next weekend, so this is really helpful. Thanks!
+Carly cool. Have a great time!
This is very helpful. Thank you!
great tips for a cruise my wife and i are going again this june these tips are just what we needed im gonna look for the jamaica and grand cayman cruise on your page to see what else i can learn from you
Awesome! Thank you so much!!!
Oh yeah, keepin it real. Thanks buddy :)
As always great video and great tips! Keep it up!
+Salma Klein thank you Salma
It's weird, I have been in every of those places 3 days ago with my school trip haha
I hope I will meet you somewhere, good luck in your journeys :D
Thank you so much mate!
may I suggest : buy polyester polo shirts. you can buy them at club stores( golf shirts) or buy the ones with the pockets on Amazon. they do not wrinkle! roll em up, wrap with a rubber band. you can wash in the sink or shower they dry in a few hours.
also, bring liquid castille soap - to wash clothes and self.
buy something called " boot clips" ,they are for drying Boots. but, they are clips that will hang from anywhere and you can dry your garments. when I travel I make due with three shirts and three pairs of socks. I also bring my own garbage bag and throw out what I don't need any more.
THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS!
Great ideas ! Specially the first one about the "stinkyness" , is pure logic but people, as you mentioned, do not talk about this important subject and I think is One if not THE MOST IMPORTANT. And you're funny too. :) Thank you !!
subbed you for your information that you provide about areas that I want to go to later in life
+Richard Head cool. I hope we can help you prepare
Very helpful thank u!
Great tips thanks
It's important to know the higher SPF does mean significantly more protection. There is not much of a greater benefit in protection over SPF 30, SPF 30 product blocks 97% of UVB rays, SPF 70 blocks about 99%. What is more important is that people apply the correct amount and reapply it every 2 hrs or so (as indicated on the bottle). Even 'once a day' types don't in reality offer 8-12 hours protection (I asked a dermatologist). Where possible wear a hat and cover up. Also look for broad spectrum to protect against UVA as well as UVB. Be sun safe people, no matter what your skin tone.
Ireland is not a particularly sunny place, but we have one of the highest rates if skin cancer in Europe because we are not in general, well informed about sun protection.
+Sira Mea thank you
That makes a heck of a lot of sense. Cheers.
Sira Mea I filmed some videos in Greece this month and made sure to reinforce the reapply mantra in the video
I'm glad to hear it, good job for staying safe in the sun and continued happy travels :)

Thanks for the video ! I also bring a small bottle of hand sanitizer.
Great looking out
On Princess Cruises, Irons for your clothes are provided for you in their guest laundry room. You can’t take the irons out of there at but they are there for you. The disadvantage is if you wait to use the iron.
For plugs bring ones where you plug more in there as your phones or tablets, travel strips are a must.
For sunblock buy Roc Total Sunblock it is amazing and as a red head it has come in handy many times.
as soon as i saw, "we didnt think you wanted visuals on this one," it got a thumbs up.
I like you video on what to bring on a cruise ship and your tips ( especially on the bathroom spray) I have been working on ships for years and sometime it is a issue - power supply. I usually travel with a 220 / 110 converter for small items. I like your tip on USB strip - i just purchase a 220 /110 multi usb strip - should be handy. I always try to get my wife not to bring her blow dryer, because they are usually supplied at hotel and on cruise ships. Well she brought her blow dryer anyways to Cuba , plugged it into the power outlets and guess what ? The blow dryer burned up. So for here birthday i purchased her a 220/110 blow dryer. To let you know a small power converter will not handle the watts on a blow dryer.
Very useful buddy
Thank you!!
Thanks!!
Cool! Interesting! ;)
And always bring your own water bottle 😀
thank you!
Can you do an ATLANTIC CITY video plz!
I'm sure you have covered this in a previous video....Do you plan your own trips or use an agent?Your great videos have inspired me to finally take that trip to Barcelona I regretted not taking 15 years ago so thank you!
+A Alekhine we plan it all. Takes time but we enjoy doing it. I think a video next week actually will talk about how we choose our trips. Where our friends are. Where fans want us to go and where we haven't been yet
I am flattered that you took time to respond! Thank you...great videos!!Just watched your video..6 things not to forget! SPF 90!! lolBest wishes and thanks for the time!
When we started cruising years ago we used to go through a travel agent for cruising only because 50 to over 100 people were in a group together, I would do airfare, transportation, hotels and meals for the family and I, now that the wife and I cruise alone I do it all, really isn't difficult at all, we find a cruise that we would like to do then we wait for airfare prices to come down, next is hotel, transportation and food while we are off the ship , cruisers for life.
you get to travel to some really cool places☺
+Michelle Fury thanks Michelle. We have been on quite a few cool trips lately. Thank you
NICE
A few comments have already mentioned SPF ratings but I just want to mention that you won't find "SPF 70" because it's illegal to market like that in many countries. In the EU (and Australia, the home of sunburn) SPF ratings on a label cannot exceed 50 but say 50+ instead (this says it exceeds 60). Many brands still only label in the 30's (some say 30+ or 35+ even if they rate over 50) because you can simply add a thicker layer for improved protection.
Some other factors to consider are:
The spectrum - UVB does most of the burn but you really want one to stop UVA too so find a broad spectrum. If you still go red but there is no pain/doesn't feel burnt chances are you were hit by UVA. (UVB is the burner but UVA does more damage to the skin long term)
Water/sweat resistance - This means it is better at surviving on a sweaty person but still needs to be reapplied regularly. Clean dry skin needs it every two hours, a sunscreen without a moisture resistance needs to be reapplied pretty often, while a resistant sunscreen needs it every hour or so... The label may say 3 or 4 hours but that is just how long it adheres, not how long it is effective.
Sunblock - Marketing has abused this word but it used to mean it had a high zinc content (and some titanium) making a thicker white paste instead of a thinner oil. Check the labels.. If there are two SPF 30's and one has a higher zinc content then that will likely protect more.
Finally, you can be irritated by chemicals. Sometimes a "burn" after a whole day in sunscreen can just be a case of having covered yourself head to toe, several times, in an irritant.
Do yourselves a favor and make a list of everything to need for the
cruise, long before you start to pack. Print it out and check it off the
list as you pack it. You would be surprised what you will forget to
bring with you. You really don't want to have to buy something you
needed onboard. That can be expensive. Also, if you are on a 5-7 night
cruise, take only 3 or 4 days worth of clothing changes plus swim &
formal wear. Why you ask? You can always wash your clothes in the
laundry and you won't have to pack so much. We always carry a baggie w/
powdered detergent and bring a dryer sheet. That will save you money.

Dein Deutsch ist super! : )
Alway plan for the case that you will only have access to one AC outlet and make sure you have the adaptors and power strips to charge/power all your electronics from that one outlet. Also make no assumption on the voltage and power frequency. All your adaptors should handle between 100-240VAC at 50/60Hz.
Personally, I spare my cabin mates of any bathroom odors by visiting public restrooms for any serious business! You can usually find several that are kept very clean all the time, perhaps not on the pool deck but beats a courtesy flush and deodorant spray!
Please go to Vietnam and south east Asia!!!
SPF actually tells you how long until you need to reapply sunscreen. So, SPF 30 is not stronger than SPF 70. It just means you'd have to reapply more frequently. (SPF 30 = apply every 5hrs)

Do cruise ships have ATM and can they exchange currency? I have used the sea bands and they work great for me.
Hey mark, I'm headed to Madrid in the summer and your vids are so helpful. I also used them on a recent trip to NYC and now I recommend them to all my friends! 😀
+Cal afc thank you!
Agree about the small bills. Good for tipping and haggling. You don’t want the vendors to see you pulling out large bills.
Hahahaha in a sealed cabin with access to buffet food 😂😂😂
"Wer isst viel, kackt viel" - großartig :D
+MickeyKnox ,? Es stimmt, Oder?
Ja :)
Mickey and the rostrasrs
MickeyKnox iiiiiii
I’d also bring extra earphones, just in case if your first one breaks or stops working.
I take Febreeze and wrinkle release sprays on every kind of trip. I also travel with wigs. That means I save time and don't gave to pack a bunch of hair product
Ožujsko... CHEERS!!!
Very informative, thank you.
Pony tail needs to go.
croatia is beautiful
+François Hollande 20 it really is. I agree it is great
You can take a clothes steamer for wrinkles we just came from a cruise and it was allowed
HEY MARK!!!!!
I'm going to Venice Rome santorini any tips?
+Alexthenintendokid hey alex
+Alexthenintendokid tons of videos in Rome and Venice. Santorini we only have old Greece videos. We are visiting Crete later this summer though. Santorini will be packed with tourists but still a fun time
Wolters World ayyy I was in Crete last summer. I hope I can see you this summer unlikely though.
CastleArrgghhhh yes Greek food is the best!
I initially thought your name was Wolter
+Mark Sykes Mark. We share great names :)
Wolters World נ
You got to do a safari to Africa...or have you?
Ellen Wanjohi, we are Really (!!!) hoping something falls in place for an African cruise and safari this winter. Croisi, the company Mark sailed with to Croatia has an Africa cruise that sounds absolutely incredible. Now to save the $$ to do it for 4 people. ;)
Question is, what is going to SHOCK me about this cruising stuff, besides the gas (that DID shock me, by the way).
Do you know if Poo- pourri can be carried on a plane? or in checed luggage only
+Adam they have travel size so it's under TSA limits :)
If you actually did a video called "Things that will shock you about Iraq" or "Things that will shock you about Pyongyang" I will love you
+Indian Movie Empire I will do my best. And I will call you out if you don't send the love ;)
Valparaíso?
Just curious, are you a teacher? I've watched a few of your videos, which are very helpful btw. But I'm just curious are you a teacher? I'm only asking cause you talk/ instruct like a teacher. Nothing wrong with that, just an observation.
I don't see why someone can dislike this video....
because a lot of people are just assholes
True!
Monalisa Menno feef&bbeegeegbs
Monalisa Menno probably grouches lol
Maybe they just don’t like cruises 🤷🏼♀️
Do the restrooms in the cabins on cruise ships have exhaust fans?
yes, of course.....
Not on any ship I’ve been on
Alaska cruse
I'm going to Rome any advice
Alexthenintendokid Was there last summer. Make sure you get to the the outskirts of Rome to the Appian Way to see the underground burial chambers, aquaeducts, and the cobblestone road to Rome with tons of shade, memorial sites...also Ostia Antica is a quick train ride out of Rome where there are less crowds and awesome ruins.
watch his videos about Rome and Italy
Don't eat at a restaurant in the Centro Storico, go a bit more to the outskirts of the city. The restaurants in the city center are known for pumping up the price for tourists. I'd also advise you to go to Trastevere, one of my most favourite places in the entire city.
Fank Daggot thank you
Kali Wood thanks
😃 😃 😃
Don't know what sort of cruises this man goes on but most luxury cruises have ironing boards and balconies!
Never been on a cruise but it kiiinda looks claustrophobic. Why would one prefer a cruise vs. flying there?
Marchay Grays cruises are unique in that traveling to your destination is a part of your vacation and relaxation compared to the hassle of getting to the airport on time, getting baggage checked, finding the right terminal. cruises have a slower pace and different amenities for entertainment. bc youre going slower its also focused more on food and sightseeing
+Marchay Grays Stay tuned. Mark did a video on 5 Loves and Hates about cruises which may answer your question.
Think of it that you are on a floating hotel. When you wake up each morning, you are some where else but you only unpack once.
Shelly Parchman I can dig that! sounds nice! Just don't like small spaces:/
BronzeBellaBria Do they check your luggage? Is there Customs?
Thanks for the info have never cruised but want to .You look like your losing weight looking good😊
+Joanne Ziemann I was doing good. Last couple weeks I haven't though. But getting back on it
Go to Iran! Very beautiful country

shaken......not stired
Use as a rule.... number 2 on the bathroom by the pool 😭😭😭😭😭
No, no visuals required on #1. Thenkyew.
I am going to say something a little gross but it works... when you need to take a big shit when you push the first... you know the first one... then flush right away. That one is the stinkest... that helps to avoid a lot the bad smell.
Waaaaaaaaat
candy and gum, way way too expensive on ship.Extra medications just in case you break down and are stuck at sea for a few days.And the phone number od a good divorce lawyer. get the ball rolling before you get back.And always avoid at all cost hooking up with crew.
For the air freshener , sorry, but I think that’s just you.
Just poop in another bathroom on the boat they are everywhere

70? Nobody buys more than 30 here 😂
up speak? much?
james Morgan Are you basically saying you can't hear him? There should be subtitles if you're having trouble, though how reliable they are is a different story.
Pack a barber to cut that ponytail off!!!
James Woran 😂😂😂
I'd rather smell poop than Febreze. It always give me a headache.
For the sake of people not being expert in English language, IN THE FUTURE DON'T USE ABBREVIATIONS ANYMORE.
Why go into so much verbal commentary on poop? We all poop and we all stink...
