Can y’all go to the Bahamas with me January 22-29 on the Carnival Legend
@@briontepettit8813 we!!aa
Can you link your Amazon store?
When is your cruise with your RUclips channel family?
What to wear on carnival cruise? Is there a certain dress code for carnival cruise?
The debit card I link to my Sign and Sail card is a prepaid card that I save money on just for my cruise that doesn't link to my bank.
This should be 41: Take 2 copies of your passport, ID & your cruise itinerary & one full copy leave in your safe. The other full copy leave at home in a place where a loved one can find it. Trust me, if there’s an emergency & your passport & ID is lost or stolen, you will need your loved one to provide that for you
How would you get a copy of a passport? Are you saying a literal copy on a paper?
Or have one hard copy and one saved in the cloud.
Or send a copy of your passport to your travel agent…. I have copies of all my clients passports when they leave.
Make a paper copy on copy machine.. Or take a picture send it to people back home. I keep a paper copy in my luggage and in the stateroom’s safe.
Just a tip on clothes that need ironing/steaming: Hang them in the bathroom when you take a shower, it'll knock out a lot of the wrinkles.
No iron onboard?
You can tell who the charismatic vloggers are when people watch your content and they don't cruise.. yet
Lol I did long time ago but I was 6 and don't remember it
Aww, everyone says our energy is so inviting even thou i have RBF (Resting B___ Face) lol
Right. I just booked my first cruise for my birthday 2024. I watch all their videos too 😂😂😂😂
That's me..just found their vids a few days ago.
You are so right! I haven't been on a cruise yet. I hope November 2023 will be my first time!! I'm excited just listening to this precious couple talk!!! Happy sailing!!☀️
Rather than bring dishwashing detergent, I wet a new sponge, soap it up with Dawn, and let it dry. Then I cut it in quarters and put them in a ziplock. Perfect size and cleans everything from tumblers to stained clothing.
I like that idea.
Y'all got me over here clicking "add to cart" every few seconds...lol
Lol. Only but what you need :)
So true...just spent $300 plus on suggested items. Thank you, though. l feel they are all warranted.
So funny. I just did this
What Y'all said lol I also like magnetic or 3m hooks to hang extra towels or the lanyards. The closed toe water shoes are everything and a must have. You never know if a beach is going to be rocky. If you snorkel bring your own stuff. Carry hand sanitizer wipes to the buffet to wrap around the utensils and the condiment bottles and jars. Deck of cards.
Funny you mentioned bring a belt. Mine broke on my first cruise. The shops on the Carnival Freedom didn't have any. I asked one of the guys that came on the cruise with us. He didn't have one either. I had to wait till we got to Jamaica to find a belt
Oh wow
We started bringing detergent strips! On the last night I grab a kindle e-reader, a drink from the Atrium bar, and do laundry. Having clean clothes packed for the trip home is awesome. I also squirt liquid dish detergent on reusable towels, let them dry, cut them into squares, and pack them for nightly cleaning of my tumbler.
That’s so helpful!!!
Great tip! Do you clean with ship water or bottled water?
Thanks
If they act like they can't make change. I act like once you get some change come back and see me. I ain't carrying making it rain money 🤣 Great video and thanks for doing a video on this subject.
Something I take in addition to what you guys have is portable fan , small blanket , thermals, plastic black straws , drink pouches , disinfecting wipes , tide pods to wash and sleeves for birth certificate travelers .
I actually thought about vlog since I’m almost platinum but I cruise solo a lot 🫠😶🌫️
May I ask why black without seeming in the wrong?
Luggage tag holders are clutch. Just went on a cruise with my BFF - she was making fun of me for getting the luggage tags holders and printing out our luggage tags. We get to the port and smoothly drop off our bags amid the folks running around looking for luggage tags - ha! A lot of the packing list stuff out there is unnecessary and a bit much - but if Lynette and Stanley say you should bring it, it is the real deal.
lmbooo facts because I only take what is necessary.
Loving your locs Lynette!
Where did you buy the luggage tag holders?
magnet hooks. I never cruise without them. They allow us to air out wet swimwear and hang up towels etc freeing up closet and bathroom space
Just returned from first cruise on Carnival Freedom. Your list was a great help! One thing I’d add is extra undies because you change clothes/bathing suits often and you might want to feel fresh each time. Thanks for tips!!
How did you like the Freedom? Our cruise is next yr on this ship, and I'm wondering how is it.
Y'all crack me up😂😂 When he said "drop the kids at the pool" I laughed so loud I woke my hubby up🤣🤣🤣. GREAT tips! Somethings I didn't think about🤔. We r cruising on Virgin in 2 weeks😁 🚢
Remember for the birth certificate it must match the driver’s license. If you are married you must have your marriage license. ( happened to me !) Just get a passport so you don’t have to worry about it!!
I am so appreciative of this video. Your list of essential things to bring was beneficial. I’ve cruised before, but some items were not even a thought. I wrote my list and will use it. I travel in 39 days to the Bahamas. I added items to my Amazon order today. Thank you.
Your videos have helped me so much to prepare!! I'm taking my first cruise in a couple of months and I want to be as prepared as I possibly can. I love your energy and thank you so much for making these videos!!!!
Thank yall so much. I have really enjoyed listening to your Cruise Prep Videos. I have a cruise planned in just a few weeks with me and my husband, this is his first and I havent cruised in 12 years, so its a happy reunion. Again thank you so much. I am ready and prepared.
Thanks! This was so helpful. I kept finding videos that only suggested the basic stuff that everyone already knows about, but this gave ideas that people might not be thinking about.
This channel is awesome. I’m taking my first cruise on carnival sunrise on 3/2/23!! I’m so excited & these have been so informative 🎉❤
Its been over 10 years since my last cruise and I’ve scheduled one for next year. All the tips are spot on. I also enjoy your interaction. I love to see couples who obviously enjoy each other so much.
I’m going on my frost cursive in 50 days! I’m so excited and I’ve been watching this videos to see what I need and don’t it it so much help thanks you guys for doing videos so I can learn about this and more people can to!
Super grateful I found your channel! I leave in two days on my first cruise, and j have a lot of last minute items to add to my list.
Hey Lynette and Stanley. I won't be cruising any time soon but I do take multiple road trips throughout the year. There are few things I could use from this list to help scale down the luggage. Thanks! 😊
Sounds great!
Hi, going on my very first cruise next month, I've been researching dos & don'ts...I've stumbled across y'all videos now I know exactly what to do. Thank you guys so much for helping ease my level of anxiety. God Bless❤❤❤
Thank you!!! I take my trip in June out of Norfolk to the Bahamas, I'm so excited and glad you guys are providing this info. I've been watching all of y'all cruise info videos 😁
You both been so helpful to me. I cruise in 2 days on the sunrise and I’m a first time cruiser.
I am not sure where in Va you are from but when you spoke of Northern Neck Ginger ale I knew you guys are probably near where I am from. I was one of those people who wanted to signed a petition to keep the soda still coming best gInger ale ever.
Love your show keep helping people it’s a blessing.
My first cruise is in November for Thanksgiving! Thanks so much for your great content. 😊
Omg your linked site is so helpful and organized thank you!
I love all these tips!! We also took a small personal cooler on board and carried on our soda and wine in a beach bag with some snacks .. also the walks are magnetic so we got magnetic clips from the dollar store and hung our bathing suits up after a pool/ beach day
8:10 "Ain't no water getting in there!" You guys are hilarious lol. Thanks for the tips!
I love the chemistry between you both. Thanks for the suggestions. I have an upcoming cruise so this is helpful.
You are so welcome
You guys are helping me out so much on my upcoming trip thanks
Good stuff. Very educational & helpful. I hope to catch you guys on a group cruise this year. Thanks for all you do!🤜🏾🤛🏾
Sooo helpful.Thanks for sharing this list.
1st time cruiser here!
I’m so glad I found your videos. I’m a first time cruiser and love information. I think I have watched about 10 videos of yours and taken notes and making my check list. Thank you so much. Can’t thank you enough.
Awesome! Thank you!
WHAT IT DO, FAMILY!!!!!! I’m all set, just need to get another luggage set because my old ones are raggedy from previous trips 😂😂😂 Thank you for the extra tips! Much love and blessings 🙏💜
Listennn.. I just have a thing for luggage so I dont need an excuse lol.
Your tips have helped. It’s my first cruise .. I’m so anxious about everything.
you guys rock !!!i'm going this august and there is a lot of things that i did not think of when doing my packing list thank you so much
I love yall! You're the fun auntie and uncle! First cruise in December 2022. I've been sending all of your videos to the group. I'm ready thanks to yall!
Aww we appreciate ya boo!
Hey teenager here 😂 thank you guys so much for helping me learn all of this stuff it’s 40 days until me and my family’s cruise and you guys have been a huge help ❤
That is awesome!
Love the video and you two are awesome! My wife and I banter just like you LOL. One thing i would suggest is a small fan as a lot of people like the white noise and air movement. Just something we leave in the suitcase so its never forgotten. Also a portable luggage scale. We went 13lbs over flying American and it cost us like $55 bucks!
So glad I found your channel . I booked a cruise and needed to watch your videos!! Thank you!!
Thank you for the informative video. Just had my first cruise in February and got most of those things right forgot my phone charger and didn’t bring enough contact lenses to carry me through- I didn’t count the day before at the hotel and the last day at my relative’s house. You could add to your list if a person wears contact lenses bring your glasses as a back up just in case of an eye problem while on the ship. I had no problems with my eyes but when I ran short on the lenses I had to wear my glasses the last day. I printed your list so I’m ready for the next cruise.
You did well. 🥰. Very true about the contact lenses
Zip ties also work well for the luggage tags .
Excellent information! Thank you guys so much for putting these out. I have never been on a cruise (hoping for 2024). I like to know about things before I do them so these are great.
I enjoy all the advice that you two makes available to travelers, and I found it all to be valuable.
Love that water proof fanny pack! An absolute must have!!
I got 4 days till my next cruise and definitely need to start packing now 😅 This video came just in time! Thank y’all so much😁
Ummm yep lol
THank you for your videos! They are very very helpful! I am much better prepared for my upcoming carnival cruise! I appreciate you!!
Hey Lynette & Stanley! I'm rewatching this video. Great tips! the only one that I didn't have was the non-surge protector. I've always been bringing a regular power strip until Carnival took it out of my bag on a cruise last November. I'm going to order one from Amazon right now. I'm going to Alaska on the Carnival Spirit next week!
Heyyyy fam!
110 days until my first cruise!! Y’all were the first people I found when I started doing research and you’ve been so helpful!! Can’t wait to be the most prepared and have the best time, thanks to y’all!! 💗
Girl 3 days for me😁
I thought this said you were going on 110 cruise I was about to say goddamn lmao
@@shnnyouman1 same. My cruise is in 3 days goin to Ensenada. I'm so confused on what to pack.
Enjoy!!
61 days for me!! Have fun!!
I love your blogs. Can I add ponchos ?! Especially with the unpredictable weather. Your blogs have changed my life. Thank you
You guys are heaven sent! Just booked my first cruise for my adult son and I in July and taking notes of things to remember!
Awesome :)
There are cool carrying cases that hold ALL your documents in one spot. Passport,license, vaccination card, etc. I bought mine from Amazon, but they have them in other stores as well. Makes it easy to keep all documents in one spots when getting on or off the boat.
Link please!
You guys are great! Getting ready 4 my first cruise in a few week,and I had so many unanswered questions. So glad I came across your page. Keep up the good work guys.New sub here.
thanks. welcome to the fam
We try to pack light so although the cost per load is around $3.50 to wash then again to dry, we run a load of laundry after about day 3 to rewear items. So we pack a laundry pod or two and a dryer sheet or two which also help keep shoes smelling fresh.
One of the best videos. You guys are awesome! My first cruise with Carnival is in February to the Bahamas. Thank you so much for all the awesome information! Happy New Year! 🎆
You guys are hilarious! 2 UP 2 DOWN, VA baby! ❤
I would suggest leaving your favorite corkscrew at home. Carnival confiscates them now and you have to call room service to get your bottle uncorked. 😢 & I don’t know if this rule has changed in the last two years, but you can also put prepackaged snacks/candy in your luggage too. 😉
Unless you're flying to your cruise. I tried to bring my corkscrew and the airline security took it. :/
I would say a head scarf because I’m natural and one of the days I didn’t feel like untwisting my twists from the night before, but I looked like Celie from the color purple so I had the take them out to go out. Lol! Had I had my cute head wrap I could have just tied my hair up really cute!
Great tip! lol
Scarves are essential, wherever and whenever you go😂😂😂
I cruise in 23 days and follow every video to the tee. I paid for excursion and cruise cash like u told me too. Thank u guys for all you do.
Super helpful!! I am finally going on my first cruise this December.
Making my first cruise and going solo for my 50th this October. Your videos just helped me tremendously! I needed these tips
Happy to hear that...as i am doing the same. My first and solo cruise for my 55th this November. Was a little worried... Wish yours would turned out wonderful! 🌷🌷🌷
Going 10/28/23 can’t wait
I’m planning on taking some Dawn Spray-and-Wash and putting some in a travel size spray bottle to wash our water bottles out. First cruise is in 70 days!
:)
Awesome tip! Planning to take my fam and kids next summer. Thank you for sharing great ideas ❤
We just enjoyed watching you too, you have made our trip so much easier.. 😍 and I was just looking for a video of what to pack. I'm definitely using you on my next trip.. We are just about to take that first cruise in a couple of days..😍
Omg have a great time 🥰
I absolutely love yall! I just found yall! I considering booking a cruise for September! I have only cruised once on Carnival in 2017. I definitely learned some good tips from yall not to make the same mistakes on our first cruise.
25 days tills my cruise and Im livid to have found y’all!! I thought I was prepared but now I understand the assignment 😂 Thanks for your very informative videos! 💕
lol
Going Monday on our first cruise. Glad I found your app. I think I packed everything you listed. I watched a multitude of these videos and hope we are prepared.
Glad it was helpful!
Not my first cruise, it’s like my 9th, BUT it’s my first cruise without my parents, 22 years old! & my husbands first cruise! I have been watching a bunch of yalls videos! Love yalls energy!
Awe you guys give the best advice. Happy Monday king and queen
Thank you fam.
Hey yall! Just started following you guys about a month ago. Going on my first cruise in June out of Galveston and your content has helped a lot. So excited because it's my Bday, and I'll be traveling with siblings I've just recently met. Love you guys and Lynette trust you will always get great service at my Labcorp location here in Houston❤️
Omg wowwww, Im excited and nervous for you all at the same time. Thats great thou. OMG can you get Henrico Labcorp in shape lmbooo. Its still a mess.
Hey what is your days in June?! I'm going the 16th
@@andreabrown3353 I'm going June 2nd-6th on the Breeze, Cozumel. Wont run into you this time, but I've booked again in Oct this year, same boat. I hope you have a Hot Girl Summer.
@@andreabrown3353 I’ll be on the Breeze on the 16th as well
Thank you so much your videos prepared me for my first cruise!! I had everything I needed!! My husband kept saying you really studied!! I told him I couldn’t have done it without these videos.
🥰🥰
Thank you so much. We are getting ready to plan a cruise for our 20 year wedding anniversary in May 2023. I would have NEVER thought about a lot if these items. I will be visiting your TA website in the next few weeks.
Awesome, I’ll be here 🥰
Thanks for the great tips. I’ve been meaning to order that Fanny pack, so I did and also got the extension cord. I’m happy it have the c port 🥰🥰👏👏👍🏾👍🏾
Indeed :)
I got the Fanny pack and the extension cord and I love it. Now it’s time to book a vacation to put the Fanny pack in use. I’m already using the c port extension cord 😂😍 Thank you
@@pebblesles where did you find the Fanny pack?
My 1st cruise was in 1999 ( I'm telling my age) and I have been hooked since!!
I love love love watching packing videos just to see if there's more items I'm missing out on.
I love all your videos! My husband and I are taking our first cruise in October and your videos are all I need to get prepared. Thank you!
Thank you :)
I thank you both for this and all of your videos!! My family and I just returned from a cruise on the Carnival Horizon and all your suggestions and lessons learned help out tremendously!! Thank you again!!
Thank you, this is why we do it ✔️
You should do a amazon store front of essentials for a cruise or vacations!💖
Yaay just seen you have a store gonna check it out💖
where's the link?

My mother found out that (on Carnival and Princess as of today), the automatic gratuity they add to your bill at the end of the cruise is NOT mandatory. This is good, because I prefer to tip the workers in cash, and it is more likely that they can keeps their own tips that way. If they are paid through the ship, they pool the tips between everyone. There were people who went above and beyond for me, and I wanted to personally show my appreciation. I like the feeling of putting the cash in their hand and saying THANK YOU!
All you have to do is go to guest services and request that they remove the gratuity. I understand why they do it the way they do, because people from different countries, cultures, etc. may not be used to tipping. There are also folks who are just plain cheap which is a shame.
I also like to tip cash on the first day of the cruise. It is a good way to let the staff know that you are generous to people who treat you well. ✊🏾
It’s not mandatory but it’s mandatory in my opinion. We do both.
I’m from a part of the world where tipping is not common. People are paid accordingly, so for that part of the world, other than the USA & Canada, it’s best that it is included.
I question who the gratuity actually getting to the people I deem worthy but I also don't want to miss any of the behind the scenes people (do those behind the scene get tips?) So I'm torn on what to do. I would love to know who you are supposed to tip as well. It's all so complicated for me
Y'alls list is the best I have seen, ever! Thank you for posting this.
Thank you .!! I’m going on a cruise in 5 months for the first time this was so helpful
when I say this video was PERFECT!!!!! We been on a ton of cruises BUT this video gave us so much items we never even thought to pack. WE APPRECIATE YOU! 💙Quanda💚
Aww thank you fam. How's life in the new state? Yes, I be watching :)
@@LifeWithUsTV oh snap :) its going really well so far. thanks for asking
I agree. I’ve been on several cruises and this packing list is the best yet. Plus they are so cute and great personalities💕💕💕
This video came out right on time.
😍
Thank you both for your amazing and informative videos!! You both have been a huge help and I am so happy I found your videos!!
4 months until my first cruise into bermuda! (From USA) I love this video 😋 it also rlly gets me excited to go on vacation! Can't wait!
Hi lynette & Stanley, i really thought yall done hit the lotto and bounced 😂. Missed the vlogs and glad to see you both. Have a blessed rest of day 🙏🏼
Not yet! Maybe one day lol.
Love the vibes 💛
🥰
You guys are super helpful! Love the energy. August will be my first cruise.
Glad to see you guys! Thanks for the tips. Hubby and I going to Bermuda this summer, and your tips will definitely help.
Our pleasure!
Would you recommend using Carnival Cash instead of the sign and sail?
You still have to use Sign and Sail ultimately, you have to add Cruise Cash to it. I don't recommend it unless you know you are going to use it in full because although it's not impossible to cash it out but I'd rather use my own cash or credit card.
You nailed it. You only had a couple things I don't pack. I don't do the laundry bag or the Bluetooth speaker. But what I do put in my luggage is a couple of dryer sheets. I also put fresh ones in my luggage when I empty the luggage after a trip. Thank for all you do. Your sweet people and you love Carnival as much as we do.
Thank you.
90 days till my cruise girl!!! We are so excited and you've been a delight to work with. Can you give us an idea on how much cash we need for tips and how much we should load our carnival card with? I'm just unsure with how much money to bring in cash and total🤷🏾♀️. Thank you!
Aww thank you and likewise. Wow, time is flying, it seems like I booked yall yesterday lol. The tips are more for off of the cruise (vendors, taxi drivers etc) because most people pay the gratuities up front. Admittedly I'm a over tipper so if my cabin steward is good they'll get extra especially when they've turned a blind eye to the stuff I snuck onboard then the drink runners. My general rule is $500 spending and we usually bring half home because we pre-pay everything we need.
@@LifeWithUsTV ikr! Just paid off our drink package and excursions today so we are set! Ok great! That was what we were thinking too so thanks for confirming we are on the right track. Sooo excited🥂🎉🍾
Don't forget, tell them premuim licca in err drank.
@@LifeWithUsTV hahaha I sho remembered that tip!!!🤣🤣🤣
I’m so excited! My cruise to Bimini, Bahamas in a few days!😁 I’ll let y’all know how it goes.
5/3/22 Update: The cruise was so much fun, and Bimini’s beach is a gorgeous blue!
Loveeee Bimini
That was very informational. I have everything you stated except for dawn dish washing liquid and my own soda. I do have a couple of items I bring that you didn’t mention. However, it was great information. Thanks for sharing.
Well, now I wanna know :)
Thank you guys going on first family cruise with my 6 yr old so any child essentials
Take a shot every time Stanley says man😂 also our first cruise will be in nov/Dec for our honey moon and we are wearing our wedding dress/suit for formal night!! Haha why the heck not!
I love it ✔️
My wife and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and we're traveling on carnival in July. This will be our 5th cruise and ever time we cruise we ALWAYS forget something. This video is going to help us tremendously. Thanks
Congrats on the big 25!!
