I just printed out my travel cruise planner. It is so thorough.
I'm a first time cruiser and I appreciate the organization!
@@dawnlarch1516 I’m so glad it’s helpful! Thanks for your purchase:)
What would be a good place to store the planner. I was thinking document protectors in a binder or something. Sorry first time cruiser.
I don't read books anymore. However, I have a subscription to Audible with over 1000 audiobooks since I've had my subscription since 2016.
I bought rolls of ribbon at JoAnns to match my shirts. I bought a sunhat. Then I cut a length or ribbon to wrap around the hat with enough to make a bow. So I only needed one hat and with the different ribbons to match all of my outfits.
How cute!!! Great idea
@jackie did the ribbon stay on ok? Like did it slide up any? Sounds like a cute idea!
I pin it on the under side with a small safety pin. I use ribbon long enough to tie a bow with ribbon hanging down.
Smart
My only suggestion that was not mentioned (perhaps mentioned in a packing video) is a second bathing suit. It takes up basically no space, but you will never want to put on a wet (or even worst, damp) suit for an afternoon/evening swim after a morning swim. I am constantly in and out of the pool, but also wanting to participate in all the activities too and you can’t be in a wet suit for trivia or high tea in the dinning room.
💯!! Thanks for mentioning that. Maybe another video could be more clothing orientated
3 4 5 bathing suits even me . Wife prolly have 10 lol
@@grapplerguy2007 I was about to say 2! 😮. We’re going on a 7 day cruise and I’m bringing 6, my husband is bringing 3-4, my daughter and son are bringing 5😂😂
Why would anyone not bring more than 2 bathing suits on a 7 day cruise?🤔
All great tips! Things I would add:
•Small dry erase board to leave your notes to each other and cabin steward
•Travel-sized Lysol for those after bathroom moments
•Skin-safe sanitizing wipes (you can get travel packs for $1 at most retailers ) so you can wipe down surfaces or your hands in a pinch
•Small bedside pop-up bin to collect all your things when you head to bed, like jewelry, lip balm, cruise cards, etc.
•Reusable water bottle/travel mug so you don’t have to go to a bar or back to the buffet a hundred times (I apologize if I missed it in your video)
•Choose solids when packing toiletries because they don’t count towards your liquids limit and won’t leak in your luggage: shampoo, conditioner, body and hand salves, sunscreens, bug balms, etc.
Happy travels!
My mother and I just returned from a cruise on Royal Caribbean. I ordered many things from your list before going, and I have to say that I was not disappointed. Binoculars, hook magnets, packing cubes, luggage tag holders, lanyards for our cards, toiletry hanging bag, jewelry bag - great suggestions and worked like a charm.
I always bring a small ( 3 oz) travel sized spray bottle filled with hair detangler for when I'm on snorkeling excursions.Makes it a lot easier to brush out my hair when I get back on the catamaran.Make sure to cover the opening with a small piece of plastic wrap before putting the lid on so it doesn't leak in your toiletry bag.
I love this tip!! As someone who has curly hair I’ll definitely use it!! Thanks for sharing
I always use a very large clear trash bag or two essentially creating a lining for soft-sided or hard-sided luggage. Two reasons: leakage from other people's bags inflight (happened to friends who packed the allowed two bottles of wine in their checked bags) and rainy/snowy weather while being transported. I did this on a trip to Mexico, my husband thought it was overkill. I watched as a sudden rainstorm soaked everyone's bags on the loading ramp. When we unpacked at the end of a very long travel day; my clothes were dry and someone else's were not. ~~cough~~
Great idea!
A life hack to keep your necklaces from getting tangled up: string them through bendy straws that you can get from the grocery store. It’s never let me down before!
I ordered a pack of 4 clear luggage tags for my Princess Cruises a few years ago.The long narrow ones fit their paper tags.They work great but I always put an extra copy of the cruise'' luggage info inside each suitcase just in case the tag comes off!
Very smart tip! Thanks for sharing
I always take dryer sheets and a few laundry detergent pods. I use the dryer sheets between clothes, it keeps them smelling nice and should I have to do laundry for any reason, I use them for that. The laundry detergent pods I put in a ziplock bag for any laundry needs. Works really great!
Battery operated tea lights (with magnet). Great for ambience and we also line the wall leading to the bathroom for safety.
for necklaces you can put them through a straw to keep them from tangling
I pack a round 7 day medicine holder from dollar tree. I put Tylenol, Advil, heart burn med. ECT. To take on shore excursions. I put it in a baggie to keep dry. Works great.
Great idea!! Thanks for sharing
We started using packing cubes about 5 years ago. They are the greatest thing to keep your things organized.
That’s great! I know next cruise it will help me to stay more organized for sure
I just booked my first cruise for me and 10 yr old daughter. The packing list so helpful a lot of these things I didn't even think of I would have been lost.
I would love to watch a video on Amazon cruise essentials!!!
Sounds great! I’ll plan that coming up soon :)
My sister told me about your tips here on CZcams and you gave me quite a few good suggestions. I only did a cruise once many moons ago (before cellphones were a necessity) and it was just for four days, but now I'm taking a 9 day cruise so this gives me a lot of ideas. Thanks.
You have covered it all! I can get really sick. I take Bonine before I get on the ship and faithfully take it daily.
Love the packing cubes, and the luggage tags for the cabin.
You certainly covered so much!
New cruisers take notes!
Great to hear that Bonine even works in preparation. I like it cause it doesn’t even seem to cause fatigue. Great to hear your tips & I appreciate the kind words :)
@@LifeWellCruised with rough seas even if I take additional Bonine it doesn’t make me drowsy.
I like this video about what to pack. I am today, 97 days before my first cruise back. And I have already begun packing.
Love it!!
@@maryroberts8787 lol there right now 👍😂
My last cruise was over 500 hundred days ago and my next one is next Saturday, July 10! I’ve been on many cruises but a refresher coarse on what to bring is great! Thank you So much!
PS. I can’t live without a fan!
It’s been so long for me too! So exciting for you to be cruising so soon 🎉!! Great tip about the fan, so far I haven’t brought one but good to know
The tide stick is a must for me even on land. Always have one in my purse, and one in the car, and in my husband's car too. This product is AMAZING!!
Lol I’m glad someone else is as much of a fan as me! I agree it’s a great every day product too 🙌
Thank you I have learned so much from your video. My husband and I are retired and travel a bit. The best thing has been the packing cubes. Love them !!!
I love all your videos! This time I need to make a correction. Flushable wipes are not encouraged on a cruise ship since it is similar to a septic tank. So leave the wipes at home or throw them into a waste basket or you might experience a backed-up toilet! Yikes!
Going on my very 1st cruise August. This is SO helpful! Thank you. Packing early so I don't forget anything.Starting to get excited, but nervous too. ☆☆
Honestly benadryl and zertec and a decongestants and pepto uhh and something to help if your constipated and bring stuff for your period just incase you never know and some of the ships do have a washer and dryer you can use
I use sea bands and wear them on the day we leave the port. I usually don't need them by the next day. If we hit a storm while at sea I definitely put them back on. I like your suggestion about bringing baggies. I like to collect sea shells and never thought to bring them.
Great to hear sea bands work so well for you!!
I take my hair straightener or flat iron with me it helps on a pinch to actually press out wrinkles in clothing too
I never tried that - makes sense though
In a quart bag, have a flushable wipe and hand wipe. Some places you can‘t flush so put the wipes in the bag for disposal
Smart, lol ziplocks have another use 😂
As well as medications always take a letter from your doctor with your medical history. It is a lot easier for the onboard doctors to read that than have to ask you questions.
That’s a great suggestion!! Thanks for sharing
Not only does our doctor include our medical history he also includes our medications and vaccinations
For the men not only don't forget to pack your suit and dress shoes, but REMEMBER to pack black socks!!
Great reminder- so easy to forget
Hi! I love your videos and cruising advice. We just returned from our 12th cruise which was a 15 day cruise through the Panama Canal. I made multiple purchases on amazon based on your suggestions but ended up never needing the items and returning them to amazon. For example, I purchased the magnetic hooks and clips. There wasn’t one single wall of our cabin that was metal so the hooks/clamps wouldn’t work. I never used the over the door organizer nor the mesh laundry bag nor the first aid kit (although bandaids are essential for days of lots of walking in new sandals). Your packing list suggestions are wonderful; I’d just advise cruisers to really think about what they really need in order to avoid overspending and overpacking. Having said all of that, maybe we didn’t need all of those extra things because we were traveling with no children and we stayed in a Haven Suite which includes extra amenities such as extra storage space, laundry services, a butler (we didn’t know what to do with a butler lol) etc. Anyway, thank you for the time you put into trying to make our vacation the best. Our next cruise is this summer and I will definitely be reviewing your videos!
I absolutely love your channel. I’m going on my FIRST! (of hopefully many more in the future) cruise in August and I’m so excited! I’ve learned so much helpful information from you and feel like I’ll be better prepared!
Thanks so much for your kind words!! Your cruise is coming up!! Exciting 🎉
I use a battery operated tea light "candle" as a bathroom night light. It provides just enough light and prevents that groping for the light and accidentally turning on the cabin lights! 😳
Love it! I’ve heard a few people say they use this & it’s quite smart
A flexible dry erase board, to kinda talk and joke with room steward , it's extremely fun and my stewards alwayz doodle or write a new message daily ,and it's a experience you need to share in your videos , feel free to mention me ...
It's a truly amazing experience
some good tips. like the nite lite. We now use a small back pack when wandering about or shopping. easy to slip on and , leaves both hands empty. in cabin we (n0 kids) use clip hooks on wall. also use small tea lites, batery, get them at dollar tree 2 for $1.00(US). just about everything else on your list is the same as ours. Going to tell her about the small hair dryer. bet it packs good. Be Safe
I like the backpack idea for port days! I’ve heard about the tea lights too - smart hack 👍
A small amount of laundry soap. Can wash a few items in sink. Socks, underwear or a shirt in case of under packing or accident.
So smart!! Great tip - thanks for adding it
I just ordered a pack of heavy duty magnetic hooks from Amazon.The ones I used on the last cruise werent strong enough for any type of beach bag or backpack.Of course when I pack it up the night before a port day, I leave or on a chair or the floor because it will be heavier.Those magnets are great for hanging hats,glasses, bathing suits or a light jacket to be handy by the door.Also for hanging a cute nautical sign.
Love that & it’s true the magnets need to be strong 💪. I’m able to pack my backpack and hang it
The ones I bought are really small. Oops. Please pass along which hooks you purchased
Which ones did you buy
I love to bring air freshener!! Great tips!!
Thank you! I was unaware about using non surge protector plugs. They would have taken my usual extension cord with surge protector
So glad this was helpful
Yes-would love an Amazon travel haul
I got a lovely dress I was going to wear on my cruise for a cruise this year and another outfit too for a formal night so I will definitely use those next time I cruise
That’s great! I’ll definitely have to do some shopping
Thank you so much for these videos!!! I know we are going on our first cruise in 2023, yes I know long ways away lol but I like to look at what I need now rather then waiting tell the last minute and see what we can use on more cruises. These videos help out so much!!! I know never causing before I feel like I am getting very well prepared!!
You’ll definitely be well prepared!! Good for you - it also helps to really enjoy the planning, research and leading up to the cruise itself :)
@@LifeWellCruised I would have to agree!! Lot more time to relax and unplug from everything and relax which i can't wait to do!!! To be able to do as much as we want or as little as we want lol
@@LifeWellCruised Yes don't you just love the planning, we love it and I'm even looking at transportation options to and from the airport for our December cruise
Ditto on just about everything even the brand of the hair dryer😄. Don't forget the magnet hooks.
Lol so glad you agree! That hairdryer is so good!! Next time I’ll bring magnet clips too 😂
A few years back I got a zipper cosmetic bag. And as I found chargers on-sale we got them and I keep the chargers battery packs etc in cosmetic bags and that stays at the bottom of my carry on bag and never have to worry about remembering chargers on any trip. It has the euro ugs so I am ready to go any where
Smart tip!! I like the idea of leaving things already “packed” & ready
What are your cruise must-haves or cruise packing hacks?
I organize all my jewelry in a bag, all my cords in a bag all my medications in a bag aesthetic clothes and the book and my backpack. Because if they have to go through a scanner you have everything condensed in bags and I usually open up all the zippers before it goes through the machine Bonine is the best I'm glad you brought it up, Dramamine makes you tired. I'm sure nobody wants to be tired on a cruise
@@ladymopar2024 I like the way you keep all that organized. Funny we were the same with Dramamine & gravol (I can’t take that at all). Bonine 💯
@@LifeWellCruised I work in an International Hotel, I watch the Europeans when they travel there's so much better than we are. I do not know why people have to take six bags per person LOL
@@ladymopar2024! You are right! We are not Europeans but we always travel light and even for a 1-month Europe trip and for an 18-day cruise to Panama Canal we only packed one carry-on for each of us. 🙂 We often saw Americans embark on cruise ships with a huge suitcase, a carry-on, and another bag p/p.
Hi Ilana, we're sure Frank is off camera saying the #11 item on YOUR next cruise is HIM. Hi from Bob and Jill in sunny no humidity Connecticut
😂😂😂😂 always!!!!
Thanks for the greatest tips! I’m going on a Caribbean cruise 🚢 and needed these a lot 😸
I pack tumble dryer sheets to make the suitcase smell nice
I like that idea!! Thanks for sharing Ann
I would love to see your “after” you’re packed. I can’t fit all of this in my suitcase 😢
Please allow the titles to show and the transcript to be seen. It would be very helpful. Great videos, thank you.
Do you mean subtitles? I’m happy to but I thought you could turn these on? I’ll look into it but feel free to let me know more what you mean
I always take a ace bandage as well cause you never know what might happen
This is great information thanks so much. I have cruise a few times but I found things in your video I didn't think of. I am sending this video to all first time cruisers who will be traveling with me. We leave in 8 days Thanks again ❤️❤️❤️
Don’t forget extra undergarments for those ashore Excursions and boarding if you start out with your bathing suit
Thank you that what I went to do take my straight ver I love it is 2 in one and yes I love to see the Amazon buys
don't forget clothes pins, cruise ships have clothes lines inside the shower stall
Love these type videos!! VERY helpful! 😍
So glad!! Thanks for watching:)
We go on our first cruise March 2022. I’ve learned so much from you and other vloggers. I’ve started buying things we needed and don’t have much more to buy. Thank you so much for all your help.
How exciting!! Cruising is definitely a bit different than other forms of travel so good to get as many tips as you can. Don’t stress though - just get what you think you need (everyone is different)
@@LifeWellCruised I will be fine I think. I’ve gotten so many great tips. I have even purchased new luggage. I can’t wear heals any more. I bought me some lovely sandals and the match more than one outfit for my cruise. I even bought some formal clothing for us both. It will be funny watching my country husband dressing up. He’s a retired electrician and loves his t-shirts and jeans. Our 34th wedding anniversary is the first day of the cruise. We aren’t much for drinking alcohol but may splurge for a glass of champagne that night.
Me too
LOOOVE that Revlon styler!!!! I have really wavy hair and it’s fantastic!!!
We just want to survive for 5 nights on a cruise, the lists you are giving us is costing a lot of place in the bag, on the pocket as well. It feels as though I am carrying half of my home with me. Please give us a survival guide not a stay in cruise guide.
Am I the only one that was watching this video and then I had a cruise add
Love all your tips and I especially appreciate that you aren't a skimpy packer as I not either. LOL We are going on an Alaskan Cruisetour (1st time) that will have us traveling for 2 weeks so I want to be prepared instead of spending our dream vacation wishing I would have brought this or that to make our trip most enjoyable. Thanks for all the awesome ideas.
Nice video- One topic that might be nice to include as part of one of your future videos is what you can / cannot bring and should pack when cruising during the time of Covid and what documentation you should bring. Examples- Is it allowed or should you bring a spray can of Lysol or a large bottle of sanitizer. Is liquid sanitizer allowed or only the gel type? Also if bringing them how do you pack them so they do not leak. Should you bring paper or cloth masks and how many? etc.
Great suggestion! Bring honest I’d like to make a video about what’s required ect but things are changing all the time. I’m hoping for more stability so the info is correct
Love all of your tips.
Please recommend a backpack for every day with a LIGHT inside!
Hi Ilana, can’t thank you enough for all your tips. My husband and I are going on a Mexican Riviera cruise in January with Princess. It’s been a few years since our last one and your videos really help..do you have any recommendations which travel insurance to use? There are so many online but not sure how to tell which ones are good. Thank you 🙏
Only thing I don't bring anymore is the oversized towel clips. We just got some small metal clothes pins (they're plastic covered) from the dollar store. They work just as well :) I have taken the big ones like you had, but ours didn't make it in our luggage. They were smashed on our flight.
Don't ever flush flushable wipes!! Especially on the ship. They don't break down and clog up sewer systems. We had our local company send out a desperate plea not to after they had to clear a massive blockage and it was all wipes.
Good point - even if they aren’t flushed, on shore excursions I find they can be handy to have, or baby wipes :)
@@LifeWellCruised oh definitely! We bring baby wipes everywhere. Our son is 7 and we still use them lol
Thank you so much very handy more like this ❤♥️♥️♥️♥️
I have a bad time with the formal dress or dresses…i only have a carryon and will travel to Europe for a 15 day cruise…still deciding😩
Hello, I am going to Iceland and Norway cruise. Can you also provide packing list for those cold countries? I am going in August 2023
Can,t wait to see your Amazon list.
Awesome! I’ll be sharing in the next couple weeks, and maybe even a favorite or two in our LIVE coming up next week. I’ll be posting info later today about it & the giveaway too
Thank you for these videos. Awesome information!!!!
My pleasure! So glad you found the info helpful:)
I don‘t remember my wife even taking a dress on our transatlantic repositioning cruise !
I’ve taken two transatlantic cruises and always take at least two changes of clothes per day. One casual, for daytime and another, more formal for dinner and dancing. I happen to like dresses so I pack quite a few for both day and night. I also have dress pants that I pair up with ‘fancy’ tops. I think what matters is that your comfortable with what you are wearing be it casual or formal. If being casual makes you the happiest feel free to rock that look.
@@gailcreighton5484 love your attitude Gail. Someone told me recently that we may all be on the same cruise, but we are all having a different vacation:)
That’s totally fine. People don’t need to wear dresses. I like to, but I know others who prefer pants or jeans
Thank you for the help ! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hello Do you have a video or perhaps can create one with this content “Methods step by step on how to pack your clothes wrinkle free for a cruise trip especially that you cannot bring an iron. Thank you☺️
Great question. I have a blog post, but a future video is an awesome idea! lifewellcruised.com/how-to-pack-wrinkle-free-for-a-cruise/
Just got recommended to your channel & love the info & your presentation style. 💜
Awe thanks so much!! So glad you’re here
i wish i could be a light packer , ive eliminated down to 4 changes 1 winter pants socks 1 cardigan runners sandles and things 1 dress for formal night but it still weighs a tonn
I love all of videos you are very helpful thanks Chelsea NYC
Great cruise day 😀
Thanks for the ideas!
Glad they could be helpful! Thanks for taking the time to comment & watch :)
I always bring the revlon brush but last cruise i decided to take my Dyson instead and it didn’t work 😩 so ladies, the revlon def works well
Great 👍🏻 Content !
❤ love your video
What about a blood pressure cuff to bring on carry on bag
Great tips!!!
So glad you found the video helpful 👍
Anything you show is great and helpful and appreciated
Thanks so much!
@@LifeWellCruised I appreciate that you responded to me have you been to Bahamas I am going to two ports there can you recommend anything thanks cheap on budget I am going carnival conquest July27 July1
@@MFARAJR1018 I’m going to Nassau in a few weeks and we decided on Margaritaville resort for the day. I’ll create a video about it. Otherwise there is a free beach, but I haven’t been there
I should remember stuff I did Canada cruise from NYC on Carnival where I live but that was 2013 so forgot everything all I remember is food
I like trying to do a capsule wardrobe to mix and match but I do bring at least two pairs of heels. I'm struggling with how to pack for a transatlantic cruise. The most I've done is a 7 day. Do I bring for 7 day and wash it, pack for 10 days and wash, options options. Do I want to drag big bags...
Not all magnets are created equal so choose wisely.
I like that idea. If you add an extra dress or pair of pants and a couple tops it would work. I’ve heard people say that on a TA there’s more time so a wash isn’t a bad idea either
I agree on magnet hooks!!! Strong ones 💪
@@LifeWellCruised very true, I'm not packing 16 days but plan on flying into Rome 4 days before so I need street clothes for sure which will probably do for the ports. But I can't live without my dresses. 😇👗So I might try to separate my fabrics for lighter weight ones. And I might find something amazing in Rome. So I should leave room.
@@Star-Boarder great points! Beautiful trip btw!!
Hi Ilana we just went out for a coffee and my wife said to me "do you think this blazer would be suitable for our cruise" and as usual I said "yes dear". The only reason I mention it is that we're not going till December so apparently we are packing already lol. By the way my wife never travels anywhere without a pashmina and she always puts those little packets of creamer powder in her handbag or purse as you call it over there lol
Love that!! Feels like cruising is closer when we can think about cruise outfits again! The pashmina is a great item to bring. So glad you mentioned it :)
Mine is not until March but I'm already going through my cruise stash to see what I have so I know what to buy before the seasonal items disappear.😊
Thanks for the info. Our next cruise isn’t until February and it’s been so long I’m afraid I’ll forget something!! 😬
I know the feeling! Mine is in Jan and I will definitely be making a list to make sure (were out of practice 😂)
Thanks so much for this info. I do pack just about everything that you mentioned. What about items that are men specific??
Glad you enjoyed the video Debra. Hmmm should I make a men’s packing video? I have a men’s clothing packing list in a few of my blog posts, but not sure what other info could be helpful. Im open to suggestions:)
No to flushable wipes…..they don’t degrade properly and can potentially clog plumbing. Do not use them anywhere!!
Thank you 🤗💕
For Awhile I thought you were saying Light Bulb Cruise 😂. I guess its my Philadelphia ear.
Thank you .!!
wow, thank you .
Thank you!!!
I’m going on my first cruise at the end of April. I’m super excited but super clueless about what to pack.
Hope this was helpful. Please let me know if you have questions
@@LifeWellCruised it was helpful. So much so that I think I’ll need a bigger suitcase lol 😂
Thanks
My pleasure! Thanks for watching:)
Can you bring wine onto the cruise HAL
I like your channel a lot however I purchased the exact non surge power unit that has usb. I used your like to Amazon to purchase however Norwegian took it out of my luggage with no notice why
So while it might work on other cruise lines it doesn’t pass on NCL
Due you have to have a suit for formal night?
