Cruise Tips: 27 Extras to Pack (Some You May Not Have Thought Of)

[@chickie3376]

I put one of those dry erase boards outside our door on our very first cruise- wrote on it that it was our first cruise, and lots of people left comments like “won’t be your last”, “enjoy” “hello from..” We even opened our door while someone was writing a message and startled them, but got to have a fun interaction with them in the process. It actually made it home intact and I saved it as a fun memory of our very first cruise.

[@SweetSerenity_247]

What a cool idea!!! I think I'll try this; it sounds like a great way to meet and interact with others while on board!!!!

[@wickedwitchoftheheartland]

Omg this is a neat idea.

[@francinescott2131]

how do u get it to stick?

[@marywitk]

The dry erase board shown has magnets on the back. Or... Use magnet hook

[@camcamcarter4741]

I wouldn't like that

[@amberrobinson1082]

Jason is like a mix between a typical California Blond, Owen Wilson, and every dad.

[@Richietraveltheworld]

My favorite cruise hack, Don't worry about the other people and enjoy your cruise!

[@doloreslittle8052]

We always (1) book at room next to the stairwell (aft), (2) decorate our door with something fun, and (3) put a white board on our door. LOTS of fellow cruisers will leave us a note saying "Thank you for decorating your door - when I come back late at night (either tired or drunk), I know I'm on the right floor when I see your door!" Hahahaha! We've also met lots of great people this way.

[@EECCTravels]

Oh I love it!!! The decorations definitely make it easier to find your room... no matter what shape you are in :)

[@FeeNomenalFee]

Omg i am cracking up 😂

[@LiveLoveCHXBeach]

Is the door metal for magnets?

[@popbre3]

Is the room by the stairs noisy? I would think you could hear everyone going up and down.

[@TexasbyStorm]

@@popbre3 we've been by the door/elevator before and I can honestly say I do not remember hearing them. I've heard loud people in the hall, but that can be in any room. It is so convenient to be by the stairs/elevator, we don't have small kids that could be woken up, so even if there is a bit of extra noise, it's worth it to us to book there. It literally makes the cruise feel like all the activities are right outside your door.

[@king135boom]

We use a chalk board as a door decoration. Does double duty. We use a suitcase as our hamper. As we wear them, we fold and place them in the suitcase under the bed. Plus it speeds up the packing process on the last day. Great video.

[@EECCTravels]

Great idea on the chalkboard!!! Using the suitcase would work for is adults but the hamper is a necessity for my messy boys!

[@meschellforte9573]

Great idea to use suitcase as a hamper 👍

[@Whit23ney]

Guys, your 24 minute video took me an hour because I kept having to pause to write down everything you suggested. You’re geniuses! Thanks so much! We’re taking our cruise later this month!!! ❤️👍🏻🎉

[@lhamilton6041]

Whit23ney Hi and Happy New Year! Just wanted to know how was your Cruise and would you like to share any additional tips for first timers? Thanks 😊

[@Whit23ney]

L Hamilton hey, Happy New Year! It was amazing! We had so much fun we booked another cruise for this summer! The over the door shoe hanger was the best hack ever! Four people to a room was a breeze with this! Also, we brought command hooks (I didn’t know the over the door shoe thing came with hook so we were going to use it for that) and they worked brilliantly. I can’t tell you how many times we walked in and hung our lanyards, a light jacket, hats, necklaces, and just anything else on these command hooks that we placed all over the walls. They came down with ease and no damage at all to the walls. Might as well use all of the vertical space you have considering a lot of cabins are short on floor space. Your tip about unpacking and storing luggage under the beds was also invaluable. We packed about 20 hangers in our luggage as well!!! Worked out beautifully!

[@gerrywilson6579]

Nice video. Lots of useful tips!

[@Yamother33]

Same lol

[@theangryrooster2113]

TIP. Don't rely on the usb cords to charge your phone on the newer ships equipped with usb wall charger, it is a very low trickle charge, bring the wall charger too. Thank goodness I am a maniac packer.

[@christinestill1990]

I usually listen to a few & couples can waste a lot of time w/ “cuteness”, like w/ the hampers but I hung on....tips are good.

[@TexasbyStorm]

We have done laundry on a cruise. We both ended up having a very favorite day outfit and washed it mid cruise so we could wear it again. The theater is cold, sunburn or not. At least all the Carnival Cruises we've been on. All the RC cruises have been hot, hot rooms, hot restaurants and warm theater. I drink diet dr pepper like there is no other drink in the world. Carnival ships that leave out of New Orleans or Galveston serve Dr. Pepper now!!! I can't even tell you how exciting this to me!!! Also Carnival switched from Coke products to Pepsi drinks Jan 2020. So no more bland diet coke. Unfortunately they serve Pepsi zero, not diet Pepsi. The patches behind the ear are called scopolamine patches. Prescription only, so don't forget to schedule with your doctor with enough time to spare to get that rx filled.

[@lizbreen3755]

Little Florida sunburn tip. Pure vitamin e oil from the pharmacy section. Takes the burn away really quickly!

[@EECCTravels]

Nice! Thanks for adding this tip!

[@carolgripshover8481]

I saw a video where someone used menthol foam shaving cream on a sunburn, I can't remember how long to leave it on before you rinse it off though. It has to be menthol and has to be foam. It takes the sting out of the sunburn almost immediately they said.

[@lynncampbell440]

A great way to get those creases neat. Use a flat iron that you would usually use on your hair. I use this anytime I travel.

[@EECCTravels]

That's a fantastic idea!

[@torijenkins1572]

What a great idea! Thank you for this!

[@artgalore8202]

Bring a wine bottle opener, open your own wine (ask your cabin boy for wine glasses) and carry it to the dining room. Avoid $15 cork fee.

[@EECCTravels]

Thanks for adding this tip! We always do this as well.

[@annfrederking1878]

Just came off a Holland America Line cruise. The corkage fee gets applied the moment the wine is carried on board.

[@thehashslingingslasher69]

Carnival will give you a corkscrew free if you ask the cabin boy

[@drdalewadensr8107]

Buy screw top or boxed wines. They are just a good or better than cork and cork trees are becoming very scarce.

[@angelicamarie1403]

the door decoration is such a GREAT tip! My first night on a cruise i was walking back and forth from my hallway trying to find my room it was so tiring. If i had a decoration on the door i wouldve spotted my room quickly

[@EECCTravels]

Yes, on our first cruise we didn't do this and had to search for our cabin... now we can't miss it!

[@stephaniekarendunn5128]

Getting ready to go on our first cruise in 23 days. Yay! I figured out that I can put some of this smaller stuff in an empty plastic grocery bag and stuff the inside of the shoes. Is saving a lot of packing room. Especially since my husband wears 13W and my son wears 11 1/2's. OK...we all got big feet. LOL but it has worked great....a ton of stuff in those shoes and protected by the bags. Then I wrap each shoe in another bag and pack it. Thanks for all I've learned from y'all.

We usually don't carry a lot of these things, but Annette is all about carrying the medication items, just in case! One thing we're bringing on the next cruise we haven't had previously are the magnets! We have some strong ones that will be very useful! People should be careful with those white boards sometimes. They tend to attract random messages from anonymous people walking by your cabin.

[@EECCTravels]

I don't bring all of them, but some do come in handy. And those medicines are a must after I got sick on one cruise. Now I don't leave without them! Oh haha, I didn't even think about that! I bought them this year for the first time, but not sure if I will bring them or not since we can chat through the Hub app.

[@mrcoaster1]

EECC Travels We also didn't know about the Shipmate app. Have the RCCL app, but the Shipmate app is pretty cool. Very useful!

[@EECCTravels]

I love the Shipmate app! I have all of the past cruises recorded and my future countdowns :) And I like studying the deck plans before a cruise so I know where everything is.

[@mrcoaster1]

Same here. I know exactly where everything is before I go. Then I match it all up once I get there. I should have enough time to study the engines if they need help in the engine room. ;)

[@Nabiyah1]

Thanks for the tips. I know that you guys made this in 2018 and I don't know when Royal Caribbean made their changes, but they allow 2 bottles of Wine or Champagne or a combination thereof (1 of each), 750ml bottles or less, per stateroom. They also now allow 12 bottles of non-alcoholic beverages that are 17 oz or less per stateroom. This of course is during original embarkation and not during port stops.

Great fun way you interact. Not just talking like some others. Using real visual examples help instead of just saying the words, ie. Tide sticks!

I've never been on a cruise, I haven't even seen the ocean yet, but I am planning to take one next year with my 8 year old granddaughter. I definitely want a balcony room with an extended balcony, do you have any suggestions about which ship I should choose? We looked at a video of Harmony of the Seas, are they better than other cruise lines for their amenities or is there a better one than that at the same price range, do you know? I want to go to the Eastern Caribbean, I think.

[@Swalter902]

I am a packer and try to take everything I might need just like this video suggests and it does not take up that much room. My husband flies by the seat of his pants but he has ME to be there when things are needed...hahaha! One time he fixed our boat motor problem with a paperclip while on a trip.

Good tips! I usually go lite- one bag since it isn't a family affair. I buy a cruise ship lanard, and a big hot/cold drink thing in the gift shop, so I can do the big coffee/or big cold drink. I also pack a water bladder-perfect for shore excursions and to keep in room fridge.

I'm one of those people that would lose their head if it wasn't attached, lol, and having a few important things hung up in plain sight was a lifesaver. 😉

Note to everyone if you get sick don’t go to the on board doctor they will charge you and then sometimes they will move you to a different cabin and keep you away from people if you are contagious. But make sure you take some medicine you need and go to your local doctors a week or couple days before just to make sure your not sick and if you are you can pack medicine

I hate to change the memory cards in the camera. I always think that there is a chance of damaging the electrical contacts inside the camera that have to connect to the memory card. I bought a 128GB memory card for my camera since that is the largest card that the camera will allow. Now I make a point of dumping my camera to my laptop every day, and then I can reformat the card every day. On my laptop I then have a different folder for each day or port of call. I tend to take 300-400 pictures a day, at 24MP, so there is no chance that my memory card will ever fill up. My battery only last for 250 pictures, so I need 2-3 batteries a day. Make sure to have extra batteries and multiple chargers.

Carnival Breeze is really a nice ship husband and I went on it 2015. We now moved to Melbourne Florida and now only 20 minutes away from Port Canaveral and will be going on a cruise in January with Royal Caribbean Harmony of the Sea . Have fun and enjoy Guys burger, it’s the best!

We love decorating our cabin door and bringing a white board 🙂 Also, check out the CruisePak, it’s a great little First Aid bag with all kinds of stuff that you may need. 😎🛳

I've cruised before, but I still got some tips from you. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@nd4539]

Definitely do not forget hats! Especially for the fellas thinning on top... you may not burn at home on an average day, but you'll feel it when you're in the Caribbean if you don't cover your dome!

[@jlynkristel4000]

Very informative! You two are so cute . Thank you 🙏 for the tips

[@janskee9363]

Love your tips!!! I’ve cruised a few times before, but always manage to forget something and end up having to purchase while overseas or on the ship. Thank you!!!

[@Bigp352]

Great video, the one thing we always pack is Poopourri it is a life saver and something to keep the room smelling fresh!

[@EECCTravels]

I have heard that people love this, but we have never tried it.

[@Bigp352]

@@EECCTravels you guys should try it on your next cruise or even at home. It's a game changer!

[@prplerose]

Especially when you room with two teenage boys! LOL

[@dawnpowers7626]

Just got magnetic 60s style flowers for our cabin door. It's a great tip!

[@stacyann280]

Love you guys together! Keep up the good work!!

I’m planning my honeymoon cruise with carnival right now and by the end of all your cruise tutorials I’m hopping I’ll be a pro!!

[@tinamarie1294]

Thanks for all the tips my family and I are going on the Dream at the end of April. I'm so afraid I'm going to forget something. Watching all the videos I can to figure out if I have my list together. Love your channel!!!

[@EECCTravels]

Hey Tina! I am glad we are helping you prepare for your first cruise! You will have a wonderful time!!!

[@LtDeadeye]

I'll be on the Dream at the end of April too. I can't wait.

[@beckysutherland2065]

I'm a list maker. I booked cruise number 5 on the Vision of the Seas for January earlier today & I'm making lists of things to do or that I need to pack. That's how I always take trips.

[@user-bp5vz8eg5r]

I haven't been on a cruise in 20 years so this was VERY helpful.

[@thecardoc8234]

Are you one of the Bee Gees?

[@kaemara]

You guys are so personable. My husband and I will be first time cruiser and this video has been very informative. Love the information

[@heatheralbalbool9278]

You two are adorable!

[@EECCTravels]

Awe, thank you!!

[@beccitravels7060]

The USB hub/multi plug thing is a great idea. We brought a large battery bank last time, with also has multiple USB ports. That worked out pretty well too.

I'll be going on my 2nd cruise in May 2020 on the Carnival Vista with my friend Rachel, who has never been on one. Let alone out of the country! She's super excited but nervous about everything. Thankfully I found your guys' channel a while back and have a whole arsenal for her to watch when it's time to. We will be going to Montego Bay, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. The firsr cruise I was on, before I boarded the ship, I ended up with a double ear infection and had to get medicine in Mahogany Bay. I spent most days sleeping in my cabin but would wander the ship at night. Let me tell you something. I HIGHLY recommend exploring the ship in the evening when everyone's asleep. I sat out on the benches at both ends of the ship and oh my god it was breathtaking. I saw a lightning storm over Cozumel, watched the sunrise at 530am in Mahogany Bay, saw many a sunset. It was absolutely beautiful. I hope to convince my friend to join me in the early morning adventures.

[@EECCTravels]

Thanks for sharing us with your friend! And I agree, it is great to wander the ship very late or very early in the morning when you have it all to yourself!!

[@jerryschwartz1645]

I’m on the symphony of the seas I think you should go on it it is the best ship ever oh and get the most expensive suit the royal loft suite

[@EECCTravels]

Oh I would love to sail on this ship... but I seriously doubt we could get the royal loft suite :)

[@antoniabaker7770]

Love the door decoration idea. Great tips guys. Thank you
