I know what I need to pack so I keep my bag light. It is important to have a small bag and comfortable shoes. Many cruise lines ban power strips, so I bring a large dock to charge multiple devices. I have been on eight cruises in the last 10 years. If you don't have an important item on a cruise, you won't enjoy your vacation as much. When I pack light, I find cruising is better, but I cannot do without these essentials. I enjoy basking in the warm weather and snorkeling in the Mediterranean and Caribbean so I have mostly sailed around them. I always have a dry one because I pack at least two swimsuits. It's not pleasant to put on a wet bathing suit. My small backpack folds into a pocket-sized pouch for all my travel needs. I prefer a hands-free backpack when I'm on the beach. The bag holds my sunscreen and reading material. I use my insulated Tervis tumbler to get hot coffee and ice water from the buffet area. I have asked my server to fill it after a meal. Since I like coffee before breakfast in the morning, filling my tumbler to enjoy on the deck works great for me. I like to have cold water by my bed at night, but the bottled option is usually expensive, so I fill this up before I retire for the evening. Most cruise ships have basic items like soap, conditioner, and lotion. I like packing my own products since they are rough on my hair and skin. I bought a small plastic pouch on Amazon that has a variety of bottles and pots in it. It has a funnel that makes transferring liquids easy. I have a plug-in device that has 10usb ports, but it is not considered a power strip by many cruise lines. As a general rule, you should always check your cruise line's list of banned items. The device can charge my phone, tablets, and power banks from one electrical outlet. There are enough ports on this dock to meet the needs of my family of four, which frees up space in our bags for other things. I always have a supply of $1 and $5 bills. Prepayment of tips is a handy option that covers cabin stewards and restaurant server. The extra cash is great for tipping. If someone has taken good care of me, I like the option of leaving more. ATMs in foreign ports often come with large surcharges or unfavorable exchange rates, and cash is almost impossible to get on board. If you plan to use an ATM at a port, make sure to contact your bank before you leave so they don't flag an overseas transaction as suspicious. I pack light because I like to carry my bags off of the ship when I disembark, and because there is not a lot of storage space in most staterooms. I go through my itinerary before I leave to decide what to wear. I don't just throw clothes in my suitcase and say I'll figure it out. It takes too much time and you will forget something you need to complete an outfit. It's great for cruises if you mix and match pieces that serve more than one function. I always bring at least one pair of shoes that have been broken in, because shore excursions usually involve lots of walking and standing. You will do more walking on board than you think. Getting from stem to stern on a larger cruise ship adds up to a lot of steps. There are three things I never take on cruises. The original article can be found on Insider.
