FIRST TIME CRUISE PACKING LIST ITEM

SAVE THIS VIDEO!
I wish I would’ve known about this one thing as a first-time cruiser.
Cruise cabins have metal walls and ceilings so you can use magnetic hooks to keep your cruise packing list items neat and organized, even with limited storage. Keep your hats, bags, and even wet swimsuits off the cruise cabin floor!

[@TravelingSag]

Don’t bring too much stuff. That’s probably the best tip. Find a cruise packing list and stick to it.

[@cruisefortwo]

Yeah I’m bad about overpacking!

[@KassieP-sf6nz]

Always bring extras clothes you never know what might happen

[@andreaaguirre9834]

Dollar tree has magnetic Hooks, took them on our last cruise they worked great and 6 for 1.25!

[@cruisefortwo]

That’s a great tip, Andrea!

[@valholmes6073]

​@@cruisefortwoThey sure do as well as a pack of two in the stationery section

[@cruisefortwo]

@@valholmes6073 Perfect! Thank you!

[@valholmes6073]

@@cruisefortwo your quite welcome 😊

[@anns1921]

Nice info but I am taking my first solo cruise so all the cabin space is mine, mine... all mine. Can't wait!!!!

[@DELACREMEDELAthegod]

May I offer two more tips? The first one is, get a cloth laundry bag. It will be amazing to keep your things in for every Cruz and store your dirty laundry. And if you get one of the ones with backpack handles, you can leave the Cruz with your dirty laundry on your back. The second tip is, get a plastic shoe bag that hangs on the bathroom door to store your toiletries. Oh, and a bonus tip, get sign to hang on the front of your door so you always know where your cabin is.

[@cruisefortwo]

Those are great tips!!! Thank you!

[@batmangsxr300]

Aren't the cabins labeled and numbered though?

[@DELACREMEDELAthegod]

@@batmangsxr300 none of that matters when you’ve been drinking.

[@_LostAndFound_]

for interior rooms.. i always back a few dryer sheets. I put them across the vent. sometimes the room can get stuff and the dryer sheets take the stuffy smell out

[@cruisefortwo]

@@_LostAndFound_ That’s a great tip!

[@brookegarscadden7304]

this is a fantastic tip ive been on cruises before but never would have thought of this thank you for this amazing tip x

[@cruisefortwo]

@@brookegarscadden7304 of course Brooke! Hope you try cruising soon!

[@Arvord]

Water shoes for rocky beaches and cliffs

[@cruisefortwo]

@@Arvord OH MY GOSH YES!!

[@lisakoehler7313]

I have hooks and the ones with clips. After unpacking I like to hang my scarfs, hats, bathing suits up but don't like the hooks poking into fabric. The clips are perfect.

[@cruisefortwo]

That's a great idea!

[@laniesesnowden6750]

Not everyone will have a stateroom with a balcony but I did. I found the hooks slid down the wall with the weight of a wet swimsuit. I used towel bands and clips to hang our personal towels, swimwear and coverups to dry securely. The clips and bands kept everything from blowing away if a windy conditions prevailed.

[@cruisefortwo]

@@laniesesnowden6750 Ah that’s so smart!! I’m always worried about clothes blowing off the balcony!

[@lightwarrior432]

@@cruisefortwo Right! And you can get in big trouble for it too 😖

[@lightwarrior432]

There are different size hooks that will hold more weight 😉👍🏽

[@pilarq7886]

​@@lightwarrior432there's cameras on your balcony

[@philscott7949]

Took big hooks, small hooks & clamp hooks on my first cruise. Didn't use any. Towel clips were used every day to hold towel to deck chair in the wind.

[@cruisefortwo]

Awesome! Thanks for the info Phil!

[@milo_thatch_incarnate]

Me: immediately burst out laughing at the idea of unpacking my clothes into a room closet 😂😂 Girl I pack WAY too light for that, whether it’s 3 days or 20. Low maintenance is the way to live!

[@cruisefortwo]

@@milo_thatch_incarnate Every cruise I tell myself I’m gonna pack light and it never happens!

[@richardhoward526]

We were on a HAL older ship inside cabin and not all the walls were magnetic 🧲. Enough were so it was fine. Binder clips are also handy to hang papers/tickets/daily schedules on the magnets

[@cruisefortwo]

@@richardhoward526 Great info thanks!

[@marquepoolejewer9427]

That was a brilliant idea !

[@cruisefortwo]

@@marquepoolejewer9427 Cruise cabins are so small and I have to stay organized hahaha

[@ShayMac311]

Thanks for sharing this tip!💚

[@cruisefortwo]

Of course!

[@mischellyann]

I have always had tons of storage and I am a chronic overpacker

[@DebraBryant-v3i]

I always pack a power strip!

[@cruisefortwo]

@@DebraBryant-v3i Me too! I always need more outlets!

[@mircat28]

Use packing cubes!!

[@cruisefortwo]

Yes I finally did that on my cruise last week! It was great!

[@gogreen7794]

I wouldn't bring so much stuff, especially baseball caps, shoes, and purses. What do you need all of those for? And learn to wash out some things in the sink or when you're taking a shower.

[@pilarq7886]

I swear by BIO KLEEN laundry detergent, organic, low sussing, use very little and insane how it dirty the water becomes bcuz it's really cleaning waaay better than any other detergent. Definitely kills ALL kinds of germs. Hospitals use it

[@anita5572]

Do you pack the magnets in your checked luggage or carry on?

[@cruisefortwo]

I pack them in checked luggage. Great question.

[@nikkiholmes6672]

Very useful tips!!

[@cruisefortwo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Reneemfenn]

Shoe bag?

[@PamfromPensacola]

We just got off a cruise 4 days ago. I thought the cabins had plenty of closet space. We were actually surprised how spacious it was.

[@cruisefortwo]

Yes, Carnival Paradise had the least amount of storage of the 9 Carnival ships we’ve sailed on. We were really surprised.

[@kae8881]

Not all ships have magnetic walls...some Disney ships for example

[@cruisefortwo]

Ah good info. We were recently on Carnival Paradise and it didn’t have them either.

[@CopperHueCollectionsChippewa]

The biggest tip you should be giving somebody to never put your dirty shoes on the top of your clothes when packing. That’s what the shoe bags are for 🤢🤮

[@cruisefortwo]

@@CopperHueCollectionsChippewa HAHAHAHAHA NOTED! 🩵

[@joycegrubb6111]

Can you get through the magnetic airport security

[@cruisefortwo]

I haven’t had any problems at the airport 😁

[@pimpinguru]

Some cruise lines don't allow these. Make sure to check to see if it's allowed on the line your going on.

[@DELACREMEDELAthegod]

Can you name one cruise line that doesn’t allow these? I cruise all the lines and they are allowed.

[@Michelle-fx1gg]

Why first timers only?

[@sachacombs7400]

Girl please. Nobody got time for that. I pull everything out of my suitcase

[@angelabland7773]

THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL SUPERWOMAN QUEEN 👑 WARRIOR 🎉FOR THE TIPS🙏👑👏🏼

[@cruisefortwo]

Of course!

[@cybertruck4988]

That's a lot of hat's. I just take one maybe two

[@cruisefortwo]

@@cybertruck4988 Yeah I used to be extra with all my hats. Now I just take two ball caps and a sun hat. 🩵

[@jbowerdel]

If cruising on smaller older ships walls are not metal and magnetic hooks won’t work

[@cruisefortwo]

@@jbowerdel yes I found this out on Carnival Paradise!

[@ESowder24]

Make sure there not to strong or you won’t be able to fly with them

[@cruisefortwo]

@@ESowder24 ah I never thought of that.
