Hey there…former Naval officer here! Even after 30 Royal Caribbean cruises, these quick tips are always good reminders. Will be boarding number 31 in a few days.
My parents were big cruisers. Dad ended up with kidney failure and RC offers cruises that provide dialysis. It’s not cheap but it made vacations much easier once dad got sick. (If you bring your family they give the family a discount but I think it only applies if someone is receiving dialysis treatment). Our last cruise the entire family and grandkids went along… thank you for the memories RIP dad and mom.
Inform your pharmacy of your travels and ask them to print an extra label for each medication. Secure all of the labels together with a paperclip, always keep them with your passport and you shouldn’t miss placed them.
I took a photo of each of my medication bottles with the pill next to it. I figure if they were really going to jump on my daily pill container, then I’d have proof of each. Like the person above, taking each bottle, tube, and cutter would be a nightmare! I always pack a few extra days worth, as you never know!
Same here - I have quite few prescriptions, and most of them are in a 90-day supply (the bottles are large). So I took pictures of each bottle including a pill in front, and keep them on my phone.
I certainly hope Royal never enforces the “original pill bottles” rule. Unfortunately due to a chronic auto-immune condition, that would be my entire carry-on; I use pill boxes organized by day. Never had a cruise line stop me so far.
It certainly would be hard for you. It may be to safe guard passengers if they have to get off the ship in a foreign country for some unseen circumstance. Nobody wants to be questioned by authorities about their meds. Maybe a good idea to safeguard yourself (if you not already) to keep a photo copy of the original bottle labels so they can see exactly what the pills are. Just to keep you safe.
@@cassiehyre4903 I definitely do that-photos of the original bottle labels. I actually have ended up in a hospital in Colombia for emergency surgery (broken ankle) from a cruise and didn’t have trouble regarding my meds. If I had anything that was schedule I (I don’t) such as pain medication, I’d take the original bottles for that.
Hi Dee! Thanks for the comment. I have not heard of Royal enforcing the original bottle advisement they give. Royal states that they "advise that all medications remain in their original, labeled prescription containers" rather than saying must, required, prohibited without, etc. Hopefully you will never have any issues. But, if you are able to take things in their original containers it would be better safe than sorry. Appreciate you my Friend!
In order to zipline on royals ships The shoes have to not only be closed toes they have to be tie on and not a slip-on. They don't want them falling off.
Best advice I can give is to just pack with a suitcase carry-on and a personal item. We have over 20 cruises and have never left anything behind. I only have in a carry-on suitcase and backpack and it's pretty easy to just take it on the ship ourselves. I have witnessed way too many times where people have never gotten their luggage after giving it to the porters.
This is what I was going to ask. There are 4 of us but we’re able to pack in a carry on each and a backpack. I’d prefer to bring our own luggage on to the ship too. Glad to know this is an option.
So what do you do with it once you’re on the ship and your stateroom isn’t ready? Our boarding time is 11:00 am so there is a high likelihood our rooms won’t be ready 😬 I know the kids want to hit the waterslide asap so I’m not sure if we can tote around our suitcases on the pool deck?
Always great advice. If you chose to board after staterooms are open (usually 1:30 PM) then you can the luggage you carry on straight to your stateroom. RCI will provide extension cords if you request one at time of booking, sometimes there are some available after you board. I don’t bring my original pill bottles and have never had a problem. And unless something has changed, if your luggage doesn’t arrive by 6 PM, check with guest services, security may be holding it for some reason.
I would also recommending packing a sandal or water shoe that you can wear IN the water. I had some nice walking sandals on my excursion to Nevis, which included a stop at a beach club. Only problem was that the sand was darker than usual and was SO hot that my feet were burned walking from my lounger to the water. I didn't want to get my sandals wet, so next time I'll bring something that I can either wear IN the water or leave right at water's edge.
I agree that to carry all my original medicine bottles would fill a small carry on, the curse of having a lot of health problems. I carry only my pill cases and always carry an extra week worth just in case. The idea about taking along printed copies of all my medicines is something I can do and will be doing from now on. I also use a small mobility scooter and carry an extra battery with the cords needed for changing. I put my extension cords and power strip inside that case, so I guess that is why I have never had any issues. The case has the Travel Scoot logo on it and I always put my extra battery on top with all the paperwork for the scooter next under battery. I am sure if they open it and see the first things, they do not look further.
I brought on a reusable spill proof tumbler with me and some of my favorite tea bags filled it up in my room we usually pack just carry on luggage and a personal item
Hello Jason, this seems very reasonable allowed/prohibited liat from RC. I know that NCL has similar list as well, and sure other cruise lines follow suit. It is very helpful for new cruisers and cruise veterans as well. But always good to keep updated on any other changes that may come up in the future. I thank you for informing folks about this . Take care and be well to all.
Hi Michael! I appreciate you so much my Friend! Thanks for watching and chiming in. I am hopefully we will bump into you on a cruise one of these days!
Great show. I find that what you said applies to other cruise lines as well. I also pack Gatorade or some kind of electrolyte powders with me. And my hubby like to pack some kind of nuts. I bring Brazils as they are great for us with thyroid issues. So some extra small packable snacks for those day trips. Enjoy your cruise.
Take care if cruise travels to other countries. Food nuts etc coukd be prohibited to take off ship. Australia and NZ are examples. Fines are very significant. Passengers are warned
Love your channel! A point of clarification about “illegal drugs”…. Even if marijuana is legal in your state or even if you have a prescription, marijuana is still not allowed.
Hi Sandra! Prior to March 3rd, Royal's wine policy was a maximum of TWO bottles of wine per stateroom. Starting March 3rd the policy was changed to a ONE bottle per guest of drinking age. It states, "On embarkation day, each guest of drinking age may bring one (1) sealed 750 ml bottle of wine or champagne." They no longer have any stated limits regarding a maximum number of bottles per stateroom. I am guessing (hoping) the situation you heard about occurred prior to March 3rd. Thanks for the comment!
88+ cruises never been asked about my typical carry on luggage (old at this point) and I NEVER check a bag on airlines, trains or ships. and I am a minimalist and go a month in that tiny carry on 17x24 inch with a small purse. people over pack. ridiculous. then again, to each their own problems. 40+ years of travel - i wouldn't let my luggage out of my site. people are stupid when it comes to travel, and so much more.
Interesting about the extension cords as they weren’t able to supply them on our last cruise! In the past a power strip was lumped into extension cords. We’ve had a lot of discussions about theses bans as often you need them pre-cruise. So far with the exception of one cruise we’ve managed to retrieve the power cords and strips when we’ve had to identify them for security. Only once did they need to have an electrician certify the power strip because they could not provide an equivalent that was useable with US plugs. Fortunately, ships are starting to put plugs near the bed but not always on both sides so even then we’ve need the strip.
Here's a tip that may be helpful for wrinkled clothing, as it has assisted our family for years. Put the garnet in the bathroom, shut the door tightly, turn the shower on all hot water then shut the door. The steam usually gets rid of all or most wrinkles. If the fabric is course it takes a bit longer. This has saved us quit of money while cruising. Hope this helps!
Great video thanks for the info I use my daily pill dispenser but I take a photo of the original pill bottles with a current date on the pill bottles they are too large for me to pack them all
Dude, I own that exact color and brand suitcase that you have with an X on it. Good informative video, but you had me stressing because I’m about to go on my cruise 😂
Jason, it doesn't get any better than that. It's Fast, fun and fabulous! Thanks for the rapid fire info. BTW, ham radio was a huge thing on cruise ships some time ago. Love the content, thanks as always. Greg and Michele.
@Susan Pitman my guess is that there is so much electronics on today's ships that the radios would cause too much interference. Also the antennas would need to be constructed outside on the balconies.
About the bag tags....make sure you change the bag tags from the previous cruise. 😮 Our largest suitcase was delayed until late the second night because I forgot to change the tag. It went to 9 aft (location of last stateroom) and we were in 7 Forward. I had and AirTag in it but really didn’t work because it was in the hallway and not many people around usually,
I had the same problem, except the tag was from a different ship two weeks prior. I spoke to the housekeeping manager for my floor about my dilemma, my luggage was found and delivered to my room in a surprisingly timely fashion.
Hi Cora! Thanks for the comment. I have not heard of Royal enforcing the original bottle advisement they give.

I will start to take an extra day or two of medications, thanks. Never thought of that before. I might get in trouble but I am not taking five medicine bottles on a trip.
I heard recently that if you want to use pill boxes, use your phone and take a photo of the labels. The information you gave was specific to Royal so if that’s the last word go with that. But maybe other lines are allowing the label photos. I bring everything in my bottles cause I don’t trust, that I won’t leave something behind. Plus, maybe they will extend my cruise, that might be nice.
Packing light with a carry on fixes this,but will second a second bathing suit as a malfunction in hot tub bleached mine. Leave room and pick up souvenirs to take home
awesome that you touched on no ham radio. Im going on Harmony later this year and was going to listen to ATC while flying but apparently thats a no no😢
The new limitation on extension cords was surprising, but they are enforcing it. This applies to Celebrity also. Even if you get a non-surge protected power strip, they will confiscate it. No extension cords anymore…
I know that many of the cruise lines have similar rules but they also have their variations on things too, so with that said could you please do another video like this outlining rules for Carnival and NCL too?
Ham Radio is very much still a thing, and boy, would I ever love to throw a 160-meter dipole up top with all that steel and saltwater below me to bounce off of...
Thank you for the info! We’re going on a cruise in July. I can understand the Original medicine bottles, but I’m wondering about my B12 & Fish oil capsules. I take them every day but the bottles are huge!

I personally take my luggage with me. My husband waits for his. I still laugh because even though we have priority I always have my suitcase before him😅😅😅 I don't mind since it has wheels.
I dont bother checking in my luggage to porters. I pack pretty light anyway. Note that on the larger cruises like the Oasis, luggage in some cabins dont arrive until late in the evening. Consequence of being on a cruise where theres up to 7000 passengers.
I fly domestic and intl few times every month. My 4 prescriptions are in a quart size bag thrown together . No tsa agent has ever questioned me. No royal carib.
Hi Steve! Thank you very much! This video details the exact specifics of Royal's policies. The other cruise lines are very similar. There can be some minor variances. For example, MSC's policy does have a luggage quantity and weight limit. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Everyone keep smaking reference to "have a change of clothes because your luggage wont get to your room unitl 6Pm, or you room may not be ready" How do you know when your room is ready and your luggage is there? When, and how, do you get your room key? DO you just have to keep talking a walk to your room and check?

Yes, Ham Radio is still a thing. Most communication advances are discovered by ham radio. I've had my license over 50 years.

So many prohibited items. Not sure about RC, Princess doesn’t allow catapults. I guess that’s reserved for “Viking” cruises…😛

I always bring a fan and extension cord - not a surge protector. So far so good...
I took a pill box with no issues. I did have a printout of my prescriptions just in case, but never had a problem.
That's a hard no on the pill bottles. They take up entirely too much space. I always take a daily organizer, it's worked 63 times.
Agreed! My son is a heart transplant kiddo, between him and the rest of the family oi too many medicine bottles
Right! I didn’t know pharmacies would print out extra labels so I’d take those just to be on the safe side.
Good to know! Thank you!

Recently RC confiscated one of the bottles of wine from three adults sharing the same stateroom saying the rule was two max.

TSA locks cos they can open your case and remove contraband’s-so take photo/video of you packing your bag
Hi Carine. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Just got off the Wonder on Sunday We took a extension cord never had a issue just can’t be a surge protector
I use zip ties, not locks. They can easily be cut off, and replaced later. Anyone who could open a zip tie could probably open a lock.

I will start to take an extra day or two of medications, thanks. Never thought of that before. I might get in trouble but I am not taking five medicine bottles on a trip.

No ham radios, but they allow Family Radio Service units. These are the unlicensed pocket transmitters that are near one of the ham bands.
Wow, Thank you for answering all my questions
Power strips with surge protectors are prohibited. The wiring on a cruise ship is different and a surge protector can pose a fire hazard.

No steamers for ironing my clothes but they allow lighters for smokers? 🙄
Love, love your channel. Always direct and to the point. Thank you
Do you need the bag tags if you're not leaving your bags with the porters?
Everyone keep smaking reference to "have a change of clothes because your luggage wont get to your room unitl 6Pm, or you room may not be ready" How do you know when your room is ready and your luggage is there? When, and how, do you get your room key? DO you just have to keep talking a walk to your room and check?
They will usually announce when the rooms are ready
Thank you for sharing!
I’m going on RCL-Wonder of the Seas in December this year😊⚓️
Great job
According to your thumbnail, you can't bring on soft cover luggage? Is that true?
Like shoes with shoe laces never come off…
