Never cruised but a tip from doing laundry while at hotels, if you are worried about losing socks or such get a mesh laundry bag, throw all the dirty clothes in, knot it shut then throw the entire bag into the wash. Not going to work in all situations but can be convenient at times
We always just leave one suitcase open and put it towards the end of the bed (underneath), and then use that for our “hamper”. Then the dirty clothes are already in a suitcase we can just zip up when the cruise is sadly over.
There are lots of little cubby holes and cabinets where one can store things, some of them with doors that blend in to the woodwork so they are easy to forget. After everything is put away, open all the cabinet doors in each area and take a quick photo that you can look at to remind you to check those areas when you are packing up to leave.
great tip!!! Never thought of this one!! Thanks a bunch🚢⚓️🛟
I buy a little ship magnet from the gift shop
onboard each cruise to hang up schedules, important papers etc on wall. Not only do I have a lovely reminder from all our cruises, they are so useful , easy to pack etc . Brings back lovely memories unpacking on ship seeing where we’ve been! Also bring some old school wooden clothespins. Super handy , even beyond that shower clothes line. Keeps drapes together to block out light etc
And light to pack,
Also-- I pack several dryer sheets into a ziplok bag, to use one in with my dirty clothing etc. I also always leave one in my empty suitcase before storing it between travels.
Great idea 💡
When travelling, I always bring one large Ziplock bag for swim suits. Keeps everything else dry while also preventing persistent chlorine smells from transferring to other clothes!
I bought different colored packing cubes for each member of my family. For the flight, I distribute each person’s clothing between the (in our family, three) suitcases. That way, if a suitcase is lost the person still has some clothes. And using different colors makes unpacking simple. I just toss the bags into separate piles for each person.
Every cruise, I wipe down EVERYTHING with Clorox wipes, and I spray with Lysol also. I give the steward an extra $20. To bring 3 extra pillows and ice daily. I use magnetic clips and hooks on the walls for toothpaste, bath scrunches, lanyards, daily information…etc…
One thing I do is write me a note on a large piece of paper CHECK SAFE. I put this in my suitcase, under my clothes when I start to pack to go on a trip. It is the first thing I see when I open my suitcase to repack everything to come home . I also put a note in my phone with the reminder on for the day I get off to come home.
If you want a window for your inside cabin set the tv to one of the camera channels
An awsome idea
on my first day on a cruise I give my room steward a $20 along with pre paid gratuity so he/she can keep the ice and glass wear coming.
That’s great. I’ve heard of people doing this, thanks for sharing
So you can’t get ice and glassware if you don’t tip in advance?
Can you have wine and beer in your cabin if you only have a standard drinks package?
Good to know! I am one of those people that likes ice in their drinks always. I’ve been wondering how to keep a steady supply of ice coming. Explain the prepaid gratuity. Is this in addition to the prepaid gratuities I have already prepaid with my cruise cost?
@@maryblack8913 just ask and they will keep it full. Never had an issue. We tip additional at end of cruise
I have used the command hooks. They have several different sizes. They hold good and don’t slide down the wall like the magnets do occasionally. Then pull the tabs to remove them from the wall and put them in a ziplock and reuse with the extra tabs that usually comes in the packs of hooks. Love them. Clean removal.
We put the TV control in a zip sandwich bag when we travel.
I check mattresses for bed bugs!
I just discovered a travel spray for bed bugs. I will definitely use that!
I buy a pop-up air freshener and a pump bottle of hand soap from the Dollar Tree to use in the cabin restroom, as I don't like using bar soap to wash my hands. I also buy a folder to keep all of my cruise/travel documents in, as well as any papers for my shore excursions. You can buy post-its to leave notes for people, and highlighters to mark what events you may want to do on the cruise ship.
We get the little battery tea lights at Dollar Tree - 2 for a dollar - to use as a night light in our indoor cabin. If you wear clothes more than 1 day, take a small travel size Febreeze to spritz them
Great idea!! I’ll have to check those out
We always put a couple of the battery tea lights in the bathroom and turn them on before bed so we don't have to turn that bright light on when using the bathroom in the midlle of the night.
OMG! Great idea! I already have some that are on a 12-hour timer! Packing those in my bag right now. Two more weeks and I leave on my first cruise
Again most people can't travel with batteries because it's not considered something you can fly with
I've flown loads of times, and batteries have never been an issue. I've only carried AA and AAA or smaller. @@susanallred558
The last cruise that we went on, we ended up getting sick with a bad cold. It was later that we identified that it was the cabin attendant that was working when he was sick. He was going from room to room to room cleaning but coughing and touching everything in sight as he cleaned. So Clorox wipes will be used every day to clean surfaces that someone else has touched.
Put wallet, keys, pass port and other small stuff in zip lock bag, and put that in your safe. No chance of missing something when you leave.
Yes!! I’ve been doing this, too! The safes are dark and not lit. I still check with my phone flashlight before I leave - there’s always some stray item that someone added without following my “system”!😊
Great idea
I'll have to try this on my next cruise. one of our previous cruises we 'lost' a sd card from our camera that we had kept in the tiny SD card plastic case in the safe and we didn't see it when we packed. contacted lost and found after we got home 2 days later but the memory card was never found and we lost half our trips photos unfortunately.
the toilet spray that the dollar tree has works just as good as poopouri or even VIPoo and it is only $1.23.
Beware when using magnet hooks. Definitely a must take but we got caught out with heavy-duty ones that we couldn't remove. They were too strong. So best to use where there is a corner or edge that you can slide the magnets to and then slide off.
😮😅
Omg ...can't bring my whole house 🤣🤣🤣
I bring my Press and seal wrap to wrap the remote. I bring a hanging air freshener to keep the room smelling fresh, and I keep dryer sheets in our packing cubes. The drawers on cruise ships smell moldy to me. The dryer sheets keep our clothes fresh and it lasts a long time. I also bring my own ice cream cups with spoons, and disposable serving gloves for the buffet. I keep a pack of hand sanitizer wipes with me at all times for eating on the go.
what are the ice cream cups and spoons for? Aren't we allowed to remove food from the buffet, using their dishes?
I always travel with a small pop up box that I keep along side my bed to hold my glasses, book, small flashlight and charger mine tucks away in an inside flap of my backpack. You can find these at office and sewing stores etc. Great way not to forget anything behind.
Awesome tips as always.i bought a pop up hamper for our trip to Kauai last month Loved it and fought it home for our cruise to Alaska this coming July. Already have magnet hooks in my cart and some others. Now,if could only lose these pesky 30pounds!! - Mary
My favorite space saver is I got a canvas hanging pocket organizer. It is about 10X20 and has like 9 pockets of various sizes. I hang it near the desk using magnetic hooks and I put sunglasses, ship cards, playing cards, sun screen, etc etc It keeps all those little loose things off the desk and I know right where everything is.
That’s awesome!! Thanks for sharing
Where do you get those?
@@patriciafrank2726 Picked it up on Amazon. They of course have many sizes depending on what you want to put in there. They are sort of a much smaller size of those over door shoe otganizers.
@@patriciafrank2726 I went to Walmart and got my hanging pocket organizer. tThey have a huge selection to choose from.
This is your best tips vlog yet. Several great ideas we haven't thought of even though we have cruised for many years. We still learn something from your tips. Thanks for all the good ideas.
That’s great! Thanks for watching Richard
I love the idea of the pop up hamper. I always bring trash bags for dirty clothes but they inevitably slump over and spill out! Perfect solution!
Glad you like the idea. My friend said it was so helpful for her, especially with kids
I bring both- the hampers are great in the room but when I pack it back up to go home I fold the hampers back up and stuff the dirty clothes into plastic (and Febreezed) trash bags.
I use space saver bags for my clothes instead of packing cubes. I unpack everything on day 1. As I use my clothes, I put them back in my suitcase (not in space saver bag). At the end of the cruise, I don't have as much to pack. If you have clothes you didn't wear, you can put them back in space saver bags.
@@michelealkins616 Add some clips to keep the trash bags in place inside the mesh bag.
Love packing cubes! I like that I can unpack but keep everything neat in the packing cube!
Great info! Thank you so much for your video - this was packed with info and I already have a list of items you suggested on my order list. 😀
Totally agree, unpack early! Then enjoy 😎
I love your videos! I'm so impressed with you information and suggestions. You are truly the best person to follow for cruise information.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THESE GREAT TIPS!🙏🏻❤
Love, love the packing cubes for cruises..makes unpacking so much easier!
I bought a couple of fridge magnetic whiteboards. One for our wall and one on the outside of our door to leave messages to our friends. Also a couple of whiteboard markers (leave one is the spot for bulletins etc outside your front door to receive messages) and a small magnetic eraser.
Thanks, I found it to be informative and helpful. You're such a delight!💞
Thanks for your video. Something that we always carry, we each bring a small flashlight for use in the room at night. A small pen light works fine. Sometimes it helps finding stuff in dark closets too. I prefer one with an additional red LED or slip over red filter. It wont disturb your night vision. The red lens also works well for reading at night and not disturbing your partner. A cell phone will work in a pinch.
I have both Nook and Kindle on my phone. Packing books is like packing rocks.
Thank you so much for making these videos it honestly makes me so happy to watch these because it gets me so excited for my next cruise!
I sometimes hang an over the door organizer in the closet - we don’t take many garments that need to hang so it’s good use of the space.
I am a man and I prefer to shave in the shower and I mostly cruise with Carnival and most Carnival ships have a clothesline inside the shower that you can pull from one wall and hook it to the other wall and hang your bathing suit in the shower to drip dry. I bought a handheld mirror that has a loop instead of a handle and I would run the clothesline through the hoop allowing the mirror to hang and then it was really easy to shave in the shower
I brought 3M hooks on my cruise and they were awesome! Came off great too and so handy.
We bring collapsible hangers. Works great!!
Those magnets were the BEST hack ever! Thank you!
Great advice. Thank you. Going on our first cruise in 2024. Nervous but excited.
As an FYI, on Carnival we only had one plug so I asked my amazing steward Kris if there were any extended plugs/surge protectors and they gave us one! We didn't end up using it b/c my charger was a multi USB and we each had USB plugs on our lamp but it was great that the option was there!
Just love how you do your videos! So helpful! Thank you for all the effort...
Thanks so much for watching!!
I really liked a bunch of these ideas! Thank you for sharing.
use small "jars" from dollar tree for everyday earrings or rings when you put in safe
Thank you for this video! My wife and I are going on our 1st cruise in Dec 2022 to the Mexican Riviera. Some of the items you mentioned we already have but I used your Amazon links to get the rest, about $250 worth of items. Your content is the best, ty so much for all your advice and tips. We are so excited!!!!
I just create a wish list in amazon with all the things you recommend Im continue seeing all of your informative videos
My 2 daugthers and I are going to be in a cruise by the Mediterranean and want to be very prepared for that
We're celebrating my youngest daugther 15 years...so want to be a sucess trip
Thanks for all your advices, just love it
Hadn't thought about the hanging shelf organizer, but since my next 2 are longer cruises, I will definitely be bringing one of those. Thanks for the great ideas!
Awesome! I agree for longer cruises definitely can be practical
The portable laundry line she shows at the 12 1/2 min. mark is a real life saver for my wife and I. We travel a full month during the summer with only a small suitcase and a backpack each. That laundry line with the built in clips makes it possible for us to always have clean clothes without over packing. We have the same line she's showing and highly recommend it.
So many great tips in this video! This isn't the first time I've heard the "bring magnetic hooks" tip, but it's finally sinking in now. On our first cruise, our couch was constantly covered with hats and bags so we never actually used it as a couch. We'll definitely get some heavy duty magnetic hooks for our next cruise. Thank you!
Great for clipping your towel to your chair on the deck by the pool so the wind don’t blow your towel off!!!Large ones!!This is my 18 cruise and i still learn something from your blog!!! Thanks again!!Happy and safe cruising!!!
I put an empty storage bag inside the safe to put all loose items in makes it easy to keep everything together and not forget anything in the safe. I also get smaller size foldable containers from dollar tree to keep on desk, in bathroom to put smaller items in.
Great ideas!! I love this
@@LifeWellCruised I always put a drinking glass or coffee cup in my safe and put my small stuff like rings etc...and a seperate one for change.
Always a new tip or two. Thanks.
I am visually impaired. I HATE trying to open the wrong door so I definitely go to dollar tree and get a little festive sign 🌺❤️
Wow! I’ve cruised a few times and was so pleased to learn that I have all but 2 of your suggestions in my cabin prep kit! I use to have a hamper but I now, I just fold and put our dirty clothes back in our empty packing cubes. This doesn’t take up space in the room and makes repacking for debarkation super quick. I also have scented travel tins that I can put in the drawers/on the shelves should odor be a concern but food stains are more likely the culprit than sweat! 😅😂
I do the same thing. I take an empty packing cube for dirty clothes. I put it in a drawer or shelf, and fold the dirty clothes right in the cube. Once it's full, it goes into the luggage, which is under the bed. At the end of the cruise, I don't have to pack much, most everything is done.
Great video and excellent tips. Thanks.
Love your tips!!! I will implement many of them
I bring one electric cube that has European plugs, too. Most of the cabins I've been in have one non US plug, this frees up the US plug.
I have a couple jewelry pouches, but I love the one you linked., I just added to my Amazon cart. Thank you. I love your videos
We use the Command hooks to hang jackets, zip sweatshirts, hats, lanyards and daypack for fast grabbing. We also use them for hanging our toiletry bags in the bathroom so we leave the hooks on the door for wet towel, they work great and some can handle quit a bit of weight. We use the Command clips to hang our itinerary, exertion tickets, notes, etc up to have it all in plain site.
Great to know. I’ll have to try sometime
Really useful. I always take magnetic hooks towel clips and packing cubes . I had never thought about the scented bin bags for dirty washing. They are going straight in my toilet bag on my next cruise. I also take magnetic pins to pin up the daily schedule and receipts etc.. a
Great to hear your tips! I find we get a bit better with every cruise
Great tips! We put our phones (turned off), money, wallets, passports, anything important in the safe. We always wear a waterproof watch--not smart watch. It's easier to keep track of the changing times on the ship.
Grab some of those huge rubber bands for big trash cans to keep the liner in. Put them over your towels on the beach chairs to keep them from blowing around.
Fantastic job! I've been cruising for 20 years and still learned a great deal here. Thank you for your time, your thoroughness, and your enthusiasm.
Thanks so much for watching Angie!! I appreciate your kind words :)
If you have upper bunks that you aren't using you can have one (or both) lowered and use as extra storage space.
We always give a tip on the firstday as well as the last day. Depending on how long our cruise is we sometimes tip during the middle also.
I've never understood tipping AFTER. It makes no sense.
Keys in he safe is a great idea! They can easily be misplaced😎
For sure!!
Both cruises we have gone on we have 4 people in our cabin and traveling with 9 and 11 people total. We got cheap magnetic 3in whiteboards and cheap markers to leave notes to each other. Especially when part of the group went on one excursion and the others on a different one. We could say we were back and where we were all meeting for dinner to discuss our days. We also bring power strips. With 4 phones, power banks and cameras to charge, there's not enough outlets otherwise
I use over the door shoe holders to hold all the toiletries we use daily, at the bottom it holds flip flops and keeps things off the counters.
Your cabin wall magnetic hooks were a lifesaver!
I use space saver bags for dirty laundry. Roll our all the sir & odor & reduces space for going home
Always great tips. Thanks for sharing.😎
Thanks Eleanor 😎
I also believe they have laundry room so you can have your laundry washed to put back in your suitcase you don't have to pack dirty
I always bring a night light: The light switches are often outside the door, making it necessary to turn on the light before the door is opened to enter, blasting the bright light on my travel companion. I also bring a small flash light: if, for any reason, there is a power failure, I can safely navigate. Ziplock bags are a necessity for storing the last bit of cheese or other snacks without drying out.
On any cruise, I pack at least 2/4 magnets, to use on the wall or Stateroom door, outside, on the corridor. They take up hardly ant space, but personalise ones space.
Thank you! I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching:)
I get a clear over the door shoe holder to put items in to keep off desk, counter- deodorant,lotion,air freshener,sun glasses, chargers,etc
That was great! Tips 🎉thank you
Going in June out of port canaveral getting excited thanks for all your tips
So exciting!! I love that port - so easy :)
I always enjoy your videos, thank you for the hints.
One thing that I do is add a red sticky reminder note , (for myself), on my safe. The note is in with my travel documents. When I put things inmy safe the first time i add the note " CHECK SAFE". That way when packing to disembark I don't overlook and leave something important. I hope to meet you someday on a cruise.
Mary
these hints need to be printed for reference, how do I print it out
@@carltabbert7732not sure how to print them, but I saved screenshots of the import tips & comments… I suppose I could add them to an email to print later.
I always use packing cubes and don’t unpack them. Also take the magnet hooks and clips too.
Thank you so much !
I always have a half dozen wooden clothes pins in my suitcase. Great for hanging clothes and swimsuits to dry on the clothes line in the shower. Can also be used as a towel clip most of the time and they take up just a small bit of space.
Great tip
Great tips; thank you
I like to bring a few ziplock bags. This helps to keep anything that you bring back to your room from dinner fresh for later.
If you forget your charger at home you can go to guests services and see if they have one you can use. A lot of cruisers forget to repack their chargers for disembarkation so they usually have some at guest services.
Interesting. I hadn’t thought of that - thanks for sharing
I bought the foldable hangers from Amazon.
Thanks.
-What she brings for small items is a folding plastic cup. also we bring different size zip lock bags, old army trick. keep your cash in when ashore. you get wet items stay dry. enjoy your videos.
Great ideas George!! Thanks so much for sharing & for your kind words:)
I have a sun hat with a zippered pocket in it. It is great for putting money in. Just are sure the is a tie or hat lease on it so it doesn't blow away.
We are going on our second Alaska cruise for our Anniversary and will be using packing cubes for the first time, so we'll see how that goes, but I love the magnetic hooks and clips idea! Thanks for all the tips! I'm wondering if you or any of your subscribers have ever taken the Canada and New England Holland cruise? I'm from Ontario, and looking for a fun idea to heal my homesickness.
I bring trash bags for dirty clothes
Great video 🌸💐🌸💐
Your videos are so detailed, thank you. New subscriber here
Great video as always!! We started using the magnetic hooks for our last few cruises and what a great idea! Don't know why we didn't use sooner! LOVE them. Always use a mesh laundry hamper also. We tend to use one suitcase for dirty clothes and one for clean when packing up to go home. we've also used the same motion sensor night light in the cabin because as we know it gets very dark sometimes. We've also used the over the door organizer! Makes it so much easier to find stuff and everything isn't all over the bathroom counter! And if there are rough seas nothing will fall off the counter! We also started bringing one of those drying mats that we normally use for dishes etc. Works wonderfully for the ice bucket which always sweats or any other 'wet' items on the counters.
So true, nothing falls off the shelves this way lol. I never thought about drying mats. Good tip
What a great idea the drying mat we wash our yeti's at night and reusable straws
Love the drying mat idea! I always bring a travel shampoo bottle of dish liquid to wash my yeti and straws but end up using a hand towel to dry them on. Mat is a much better idea. Thanks!
Good ideas thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video :)
They make hanging yoga pants organizers that you can use for almost any kind of clothing that you can roll up. I use one at home for my graphic tee shirts. It has 24 pockets!
Great video with really useful new hacks. I am going to put those scented bin bags for dirty washing straight in my toilet bag for my next cruise. I always take magnetic hooks , towel clips and everything packed in cubes. I also take magnetic pins to secure things like receipts appointment reminders and the daily planner to the wall. Another space saving thing I do is if my solo cabin or double if I have one, has two chairs on the balcony I ask the cabin steward to remove one. I would never invite anyone into my cabin / on my balcony so have no need for two and it makes the balcony more spacious.
You could have both removed & ask for a lounge chair
Hi Illana, packing cubes are the best. I have packed three of mine already to go for my Dec. cruise and i just place them in the drawer and take my things out directly from them😂
Haha you’re ready to cruise 😂👌
I do that too. Just lift them out of my suitcase onto the wardrobe shelf and then use the items direct from them . Makes packing up to come home less sad and stressful too.
❤great tips ty
Carbon filter shoe inserts are a life-saver if you travel with gym rats!! Love the magnetic hooks, will use on our next cruise. Do any of the hanging organizers have large enough areas to hold the packing cubes?
