Here’s something that I learned from your videos, by combining your amazing tips and tricks! I have my suitcase and my carryon, properly packed of course. Inside my carryon I pack my foldable beach bag. When we arrive at the port to check our bags I pull out the beach bag, drop my money, identification, medicine, swimsuit, flip flops 🩴, and phone. I check my suitcase and my carryon and now I have a light, easy to handle bag filled with just what I need for now. AirTags in my suitcase and carryon let me know my bags made it on board

Pro tip…Take a picture of the label of your prescription medications, with a picture of the corresponding tablet or capsule (where applicable). Take pictures of inhalers, creams, ointments, nasal spray, and eye drops as well. Keep those photos in your phone. It’s useful for many different reasons.

@ 2 reasons: 1. If anything happens and you need more for whatever reason, you have the prescription information. 2. If anything happens and you are unconscious or incapacitated, medical staff can have the information they need about your medications. Also, bonus, sometimes they do ask questions when you go through customs…

Totally me right now!! I have always been a researcher. It's my first cruise for 79 days, I'm not sure what number for my mom. I'm on the Internet researching nine in half months in advance because my mom waits till the last minute. I want everything to go smooth for us. Like you said Ilana don't wing your Port days so I'm trying to get as much information on those as well because my mom has mobility issues and that is definitely going to limit what she can do vs. what she wants to do unfortunately.

Even if you don't wear glasses, bring a glasses repair kit! My sunglasses lost a screw somewhere, and I did not have a repair kit. I'm just glad it was my sunglasses and not my kids' eyeglasses. Anyway, I ended up spending $60 on a pair of sunglasses that would probably have been $20 or less on land, and I don't even like them that much. If you don't do this, bring spare sunglasses (or eyeglasses)!

I just got back from a cruise- Carnival Vista. We had a great time other than the constant rocking from the crazy winds coming from all directions. Can you do a video about serenity/lido deck etiquette? I had someone get “mouthy” with me for moving their towel out of a chair that had been sitting there for over 1.5 hours. There were elderly people and others who were actually part of the “spa” decks that could not find chairs because others would “save seats” with their items and disappear for hours. 40 minutes is the longest that was allowed on the Vista.

The struggle not to overpack is real especially since this cruise I’ll need warmer weather clothing for Norway and Iceland.

I take my *_NINE_* Cruising Ducks with me in my carry on so I can start hiding as soon as I'm board (if I want... especially on the 2-4 night cruises) Why NINE ducks... well it's because I can fit NINE tags on a single A4 sheet of paper, which then cut up and placed in laminated business card sized pouches. I enjoy hiding them but don't need to be overly obsessive about it and nine is a good number That said, I might need to start looking at a second set of nine... my travel companion seems to enjoy hiding them even more than me... so I might give him his own set to hide. Also I pack the ducks in a large pencil case... I had it already and it fits the nine ducks very nicely... and places them all together.

Can you get Bonine in Canada? I can't seem to find it. Also, we are heading out Sunday on an NCL transatlantic cruise.We will be leaving Toronto for 28'C Miami, then ending up in 11'C Europe (Belgium and France). I'm planning on layering, but packing has been a challenge! Also, is there any use buying duty free wine? Are we allowed to bring a bottle on board with NCL?

@LifeWellCruised Ай бұрын
Nice!! No, you can buy it in Walgreens etc. I actually order it to my hotel (most times) and bring home for people 😂. I believe you can still bring wine on ncl, although you’ll have a corkage fee. Enjoy!!

@LifeWellCruised
@LifeWellCruised Ай бұрын
Sounds great! I have a video for packing for a longer cruise (we also did 12 nights last November) that might be helpful. My advice is pack for a week & rewear some, & plan to do a bit of laundry either on your own or many cruise lines have laundry special you can take advantage of
@nancyruckman5875

Do laundry 1/2 way through, only packing for 6 days. No one will notice if you rewear stuff. Doing that for my BTB Caribbean cruise(s) next month.

Packing is so stressful for me. For longer cruises 🚢I pack two large suitcases. If you’re going to become a frequent cruiser, I would recommend buying curling & flat irons, and outlet boxes in a Third World country. The ones with the two long prongs are $10.00 -the outlet is in front of your outer cabin mirror. 😊 Pardon my grammar.
