One thing I've started doing for my prescription meds is that I take a picture of the bottle (clearly showing all important refill and doctor info) with one of the actual pills sitting next to it. As I don't carry the actual bottle on vacation with me, I use pill pouches or ziplock bags to travel, I feel like if there was ever a question at TSA or at a port about all these pills I'm carrying on my person that these photos might be helpful. I'm maybe known for being a little overly cautious with this, but it makes me feel less stressed.
The brand of soothing eyedrops my optician recommends is available as a box of single-use ampules. These are great - they don’t expire as fast as an open bottle, since they remain sealed until the moment they are needed, and with no risk of cross-contamination you can share them safely with others.
I have sometimes asked the pharmacy to put part of my medication in a smaller bottle with prescription label so that I can take it on the plane. They were accommodating.
The concierge desk on MSC cruises will give passengers motion sickness meds for free’ usually one-two doses, but can go back next day if you are still having some nausea.
Great post!! I did get sick with a cold the day we flew out from northern Michigan . We flew in the day before luckily had a chance to hit a pharmacy right away.. I will never cruise without Advil. Sudafed, a product like Airborne, etc. You never know and better to be ready!
I was told of a seasick cure/prevention which I know from experience works. I bring earplugs. Put one in your left ear and keep the right ear open. I was on a small boat and I tested it and it works immediately as it balances out your equilibrium. Also I pack a bottle of activated charcoal in my first aid kit. For those times you are really unsure of stomach upset from maybe something you ate that was new to you. It will absorb the culprit and give you some relief. I am off to cruise in a few weeks on the Carnival Miracle. This will be my 2nd cruise recently. I hope this info helps.
Great first-aid tips. I always bring our first-aid/medicine cabinet essentials with us on our cruises. The first thing is to check the expiration dates on all meds. I had things that expired well over 8 years because we kept the same bag going for years. Another thing, especially for the seasickness meds: try it at home first. My friend found out at home that the Dramamine made her extremely sick -on dry land.
I learned the hard way on my first cruise, when the cruise store did not have artificial tears for dry eyes, to bring everything I could possibly need. It's nice to know another person like you, Ilana, who is prepared for everything! I do like the toiletry bag you use for your first aid kit.
Sea sickness remedy: a green apple will settle your queasy stomach in minutes. Always seem to be on board. On a cruise years ago we were in the Bahamas and encountered a storm with very high seas. Many of the people on board were sick. My wife was I’ll too. I went to lobster night dinner and our table for eight was a table for three. The waiter asked about my wife and told him she was not well. He gave me a green apple suggesting she eat some of it. Went back to the stateroom and told her to eat some of the apple. Despite her protests she did eat a bit if the apple. Fifteen minutes later she wanted to go back to the dining room. Our children have had queasy stomach issues that were resolved with a green apple or even a red apple. Hope this helps.
Hi Ilana. We just watched your video and thanks since we are now preparing for our Emerald adventure. My wife just thought of something additional, that being a small tooth repair kit with maybe some Anbesol just in case of minor mouth problems. Very appreciative of all the great tips you provide on your channel! 🌞👍
Small tip: if you don’t wanna necessarily use those pill organizers to store over the counter meds you can always use jewelry/bead organizers. I bought one from Walmart and labeled it on the back; has plenty of space in each compartment! I use mines as a lot to store any antacid/upset stomachs meds and it fits in small bags .
Good idea. I need to try that. The lids would stay on better too. I can not get a pill organizer to stay closed, from when I put it in my carry on to when I reach the room, other then adding so much packing and duct tape it takes me an hour to get it open.
I take resealable pill pouches (3"x2.75"). Every morning, I transfer my daily meds/supplements to one of them and keep it with me whether a sea day or excursion day. At the end of the day, I know I took everything.
I do this at home as well. I have several medications that take 4 times a day, and honestly as I've gotten older those times start to blend together. It is so helpful sometimes to be able to look and see "oooops, 3 of those left, must have forgotten to take that", or even just "did I take that before dinner"? Bonus, the pill pouches fit in any pocket and are basically waterproof.
Great tips 👍. Ginger tea always settles my stomach & it's good for digestion. Yes anti histamine cream is a must as bugs seem to love biting me. I know you can't really carry them round with you but squeezing a lime or lemon onto the bite really helps with the itch & swelling. Just ask for extra 🍋 with your soda 🤣
Great tips. You're so right about eye drops. I use allergy drops and forgot them one time in 2010. Visine cost me 12.00 US in the ship store on NCL, and being Cdn, I had the exchange on top of that. Had the room cleaning products not bothered my eyes so much I wouldn't have bought them.
Great list. Yes absolutely agree about motion sickness medication. My aunt has been on 10 cruises and she always has some with her. She really needed it only a handful of times but was so very happy to have it.
I also bring an essential oil diffuser. Many small travel sizes plug into a USB outlet. They often have a multi-colored light built in that is great as a night light. I have always used one called Thieves Oil. It is often in organic cleaning products. The popular blend of therapeutic grade essential oils is based on the Tales of French thieves who survived the plague by covering themselves with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatic herbs while robbing people during that time. There are also some essential oils that help motion sickness. Sometimes you just don't want to take oral meds because they don't always play well with a yummy drink.
Hi. A great list as always. Just a thought - could this list be included in the cruise planner ? We have bought it and are using it to plan our upcoming cruise and this list would have been a great addition.
I use those little plastic jewelry bags you buy from a craft store, for my meds and vitamins. I pack all my vits and prescription meds in one pack for each day with a couple extra days just in case, then I don’t have much to haul back.
I have found that the air in the cabin tends to be dry at some times and I bring Halls to easy the dryness. Toilet seat covers, we always bring those. Great tips!!!
I will never forget on my first cruise (years before covid) I packed all kinds of medicine except cold medicine. Sure enough, on the second day of the cruise, I started getting cold symptoms and that night I had to go and pay $18 for nyquil at the gift shop!!! Medicine is so expensive on board so double check to make sure you don't forget it
Hi, love your videos. I always pack a small amount of meat tenderize. I know it sound strange but if you get stung by a jellyfish it works great. Just mix with seawater into a paste and apply. I also bring noxzema cream, best thing for sunburns.
I just purchased your cruise guide and although our cruise is over a year away (and its our first one ever!!) I have found your guide to be very useful and I know it will help keep us on track and help me make sure I dont forget anything!!! Thank you so much for doing these videos and taking the time to make this wonderful cruise guide. It is very much appreciated 😊
You’re going to be so well prepared Jessica and have an amazing cruise!! It’s fun to plan as well, isn’t it? I’m so glad you like the cruise planner and the videos have been helpful:)
@@LifeWellCruised I have been watching your videos for a little over a year and I have to say I am very informed and there was so much I didn't know what to expect, what to pack (I am an over packer) and didn't know you could ask for more hangers, pillows and such!!! I am really excited and don't think its ever early enough to plan for a cruise!!!
Great useful video. After watching earlier ones I have now a first aid kit full of all the things you suggested. I just keep it safe ready for the next time. I check sell by dates and anything that has been used. I also lend it out to my daughters for when they cruise. I also have hydrocortisone cream too.
I buy those little pill bags at the drugstore and just bring enough pills for the cruise, plus some extra for emergencies, and label the bags with the name of the medication. Saves so much space! We have never had a problem with this on 28 cruises. Of course we don't have any narcotics, in that case you would need the bottle, I imagine.
@@LifeWellCruised I just read that Holland America will make mask wearing optional on March 1. Yes, winter has been too cold and long this year! Have a nice weekend.
I've watched a few of your video's and they are wonderful. I would like to suggest either a couple of small ziploc bags to take along (handy for any leftover muchies to keep in fridge but especially for using as an ice pack for any injuries). Though I recently found a small ice bag at the Dollar Tree that I am going to take with me from now on (will not have to worry about leaks once the ice starts melting) as well and just use the ziploc bags for food ^_^. I seem to be accident prone and do things like twist an ankle, or like one time I fell down some narrow steep stairs on a excursion on the Battleship Midway .
I was told to head to the buffet on the first day and see if they have green apples. They are supposed to calm the stomach. Many people know about this so they run out quick.
always great videos I also bring for sea sickness the wrist bands works for me but I do have the dramamine. I also bring patches in case your back hurst
its a must for us filipinos to carry efficascent oil or white flower oil 🤣 ( essential oil with active ingredients for pain relief, helps with nausea).. since lysol wipes are 100% needed il add lysol sanitizing fabric spray... i use it to sanitize the curtains, top of bed and couch 😷
My husband Carrie's a lot of meds when we travel and to save space he uses 4 week pill containers (one row for day pills and one row for night pills. To avoid problems or questions about his meds we ask our pharmacist to print out a set of extra labels. The are very accommodating and we always have the info about each medication as well as the contact info of our pharmacy. Just in case.
For me, Hard Candies. Sometimes waiting in line for whatever, nice to have a little flavor in your mouth. My wife, chewing Gum. She's not a Gum Chewer per say. Buy flying or an excursion that might involve an elevation change. She needs it for her ears. As always, thank you for your informative videos.
Nurse here. Things to add. 1. Always, ALWAYS travel with prescription meds with the original bottles. Even if you just put the amount of pills you need into the original bottles. ESPECIALLY controlled drugs. Especially if driving to the port. If police pull you over, find unlabeled pills in random cases, you will get a DUI. 2. I also pack some ace bandage, or ankle supports for small twists of ankles. Klutz here. 😂😂😂😂 3. If you have a PCP, ask if they can prescribe some zofran, prednisone, or any other preventative medications. I don’t get sea sickness. But get MASSIVE vertigo once I get off the ship. The prednisone helps with my vertigo. Zofran for massive nausea. 4. Ice pack. A small one that you can just pop into the fridge. Again. If you need to ice anything. 5. Benadryl. Melatonin or any other sleeping aid. 6. I also bring lidocaine patches/lidocaine liquid. All the extra walking/new bed, new aches and pains. I over pack with my first aid stuff because again, I want to avoid the first aid station with over priced everything.
Reef friendly sunscreen is the best. J&J recently recalled their sunscreen bc of benzene. I use Caribbean Sol but there are other natural reef friendly sunscreens out there that do not have chemical that will cause cancer.
Something this large or containing liquids or gels is workable for people who drive to port or who fly and check a bag… not so much for carryon only flyers.
Hey! Thank you for all your information! This is my first cruise and all your tips have been very helpful. I purchased your cruise planner and I cannot get it to open or download.
So glad the info is helpful for your first cruise! Please send me an email and I’ll help you out - lifewellcruised@gmail.con . Thanks for your purchase:)
You're cute and doing a good job. I'm going on a cruise for the first time. I've never heard any cruise commentators talk about personal experiences or of friends of sea sickness. Are some more prone? What has been your seasickness experience and what have you seen works best for you and others around you on rough seas?
Hi Ilana, I noticed that at about 5:29 into your video that your hair changed shape. Did your "on air" hair stylist and make-up artist have to touch you up or what 🤣😂😘. Hi from Bob and Jill in Connecticut ( don't forget the hair fluffer as #24)

Gary Bembridge (Tips for Travel) recommends a dental repair kit (for crowns and fillings) since there are no dentists on the ship.
Good idea - I truthfully don’t bring it myself, but it’s probably smart
My usual travel companion has a history of dental problems so I have a dental kit on my cruise shopping list for when we go in 2023.
any particular store or online service that you can recommend to purchase a dental kit that is reasonable? I just saw one for $45.
Not really first aid, but I always put a small sewing kit in with my first aid stuff. Thanks for the tips!
Great idea!
One thing I've started doing for my prescription meds is that I take a picture of the bottle (clearly showing all important refill and doctor info) with one of the actual pills sitting next to it.

Smart
Great idea. Getting on tomorrow so I’ll do that next time
I found another great tip that we have used to add to your list. I buy Gold Bond Friction Defense. I'm a plus size so this helped me
Very smart!! Thanks for sharing
I always bring a first aid kit when I travel ... pain relievers (advil, tylenol, etc for kids & adult), tums, pepto (kids & adult), imodium (kids), wound wash, bandaid variety, antibiotic cream, bite stick, swimmer's ear, eye wash, cortisone cream, Solarcaine spray, and finally ... instant ice pack for bumps or overheating.
The brand of soothing eyedrops my optician recommends is available as a box of single-use ampules. These are great - they don’t expire as fast as an open bottle, since they remain sealed until the moment they are needed, and with no risk of cross-contamination you can share them safely with others.

should bring extra glasses and glass repair kit

I bring lysol spray ( there are small ones) and wipes etc, i wipe down all the cabin surfaces i can think of.
Gravel with ginger is really good. That’s what we bring.
You can always get a printout of your meds from your pharmacy.
Great tips. You're so right about eye drops. I use allergy drops and forgot them one time in 2010. Visine cost me 12.00 US in the ship store on NCL, and being Cdn, I had the exchange on top of that. Had the room cleaning products not bothered my eyes so much I wouldn't have bought them.
Oh interesting. The cleaning products and air may do it
New to channel. I don't travel without my Doterra! : On Guard, Breath, Ginger and some essential oils
Great list. Yes absolutely agree about motion sickness medication. My aunt has been on 10 cruises and she always has some with her. She really needed it only a handful of times but was so very happy to have it.
Absolutely!! Thanks for sharing
Lysol wipes are a must. 🙏🏾
Absolutely 💯!!
I watch as many of your videos as possible. 😊all great and very helpful.

i always pack oragel just in case. It has been very handy
Good idea
Hi. A great list as always. Just a thought - could this list be included in the cruise planner ? We have bought it and are using it to plan our upcoming cruise and this list would have been a great addition.
Swimmers ear is perfect to bring. I got an ear ache due to water in my ear and that isn't fun on a cruise.
Oh very good idea!!
I’m planning my 7th cruise (girls trip) with three first time cruisers. Your tips are great…even for me as an experienced cruiser!
I use those little plastic jewelry bags you buy from a craft store, for my meds and vitamins. I pack all my vits and prescription meds in one pack for each day with a couple extra days just in case, then I don’t have much to haul back.
Add safety pins and sewing kit to cruise kit.
Another great video. I’ll be sure to update my travel kit. A few cruises back I paid $25 for a bottle of NyQuil at one of the shops on Celebrity.
Oh my!!
I have found that the air in the cabin tends to be dry at some times and I bring Halls to easy the dryness. Toilet seat covers, we always bring those. Great tips!!!
Great ideas! I hadn’t thought of toilet seat covers but great for travelling
I always pack Hydrocortisone cream. It is great if you end up getting a rash.
Good one to get that prefect picture. He accidentally step in poison ivy. Boy mild case but this was a life saver
Great tip!!
Hi Ilana..great tips for cruisers!!! We always carry a mini-version of our medicine cabinet as well.
Lol better to be prepared right?! Thanks Sharon. I love your channel btw :)

Thanks Cathy! Hopefully you can plan for the future - we Canadians need to enjoy travel and life again (when comfortable)
@@LifeWellCruised I just read that Holland America will make mask wearing optional on March 1. Yes, winter has been too cold and long this year! Have a nice weekend.
Anti gas!!! Gas x or beano or even a generic simethicone otc in case you get the tootles.
I've watched a few of your video's and they are wonderful. I would like to suggest either a couple of small ziploc bags to take along (handy for any leftover muchies to keep in fridge but especially for using as an ice pack for any injuries). Though I recently found a small ice bag at the Dollar Tree that I am going to take with me from now on (will not have to worry about leaks once the ice starts melting) as well and just use the ziploc bags for food ^_^.

I was told to head to the buffet on the first day and see if they have green apples. They are supposed to calm the stomach. Many people know about this so they run out quick.
Yes green apples are simple and do work for a mild queasy stomach
always great videos I also bring for sea sickness the wrist bands works for me but I do have the dramamine. I also bring patches in case your back hurst
Great idea!! I know people who use the sea bands on boat rides too and they’re great
its a must for us filipinos to carry efficascent oil or white flower oil 🤣 ( essential oil with active ingredients for pain relief, helps with nausea).. since lysol wipes are 100% needed il add lysol sanitizing fabric spray... i use it to sanitize the curtains, top of bed and couch 😷
How interesting!! I never knew about this - thanks for the tip! Yes on the Lysol 🙌😂
My husband Carrie's a lot of meds when we travel and to save space he uses 4 week pill containers (one row for day pills and one row for night pills.

Buy flying or an excursion that might involve an elevation change. She needs it for her ears. As always, thank you for your informative videos.
Really a good idea!!
Nurse here. Things to add.
1. Always, ALWAYS travel with prescription meds with the original bottles. Even if you just put the amount of pills you need into the original bottles. ESPECIALLY controlled drugs. Especially if driving to the port. If police pull you over, find unlabeled pills in random cases, you will get a DUI.
2. I also pack some ace bandage, or ankle supports for small twists of ankles. Klutz here. 😂😂😂😂
3. If you have a PCP, ask if they can prescribe some zofran, prednisone, or any other preventative medications. I don’t get sea sickness. But get MASSIVE vertigo once I get off the ship. The prednisone helps with my vertigo. Zofran for massive nausea.
4. Ice pack. A small one that you can just pop into the fridge. Again. If you need to ice anything.
5. Benadryl. Melatonin or any other sleeping aid.
6. I also bring lidocaine patches/lidocaine liquid. All the extra walking/new bed, new aches and pains.
I over pack with my first aid stuff because again, I want to avoid the first aid station with over priced everything.
Thanks for sharing!! Great info and tips
I found a package of 10 reusable plastic containers for a $1.00 at the Dollar Store. I put my vitamin supplements in them.
Smart!!
Mary Kay has a roll up bag like the one you showed so if you have a consultant, call her and ask to see it. Love mine.
Sounds great
Reef friendly sunscreen is the best. J&J recently recalled their sunscreen bc of benzene. I use Caribbean Sol but there are other natural reef friendly sunscreens out there that do not have chemical that will cause cancer.
Thanks for sharing
I never cruise without my sea sickness prescription strength patches, works perfectly!
Great idea!
One for the girls- cystitis relief powders
I had to google that lol, but seems like a good idea. Thanks for sharing
Something this large or containing liquids or gels is workable for people who drive to port or who fly and check a bag… not so much for carryon only flyers.
Absolutely
Will we be able to travel on the plan with this stuff.🤔
Thank you!!

You're cute and doing a good job. I'm going on a cruise for the first time. I've never heard any cruise commentators talk about personal experiences or of friends of sea sickness. Are some more prone? What has been your seasickness experience and what have you seen works best for you and others around you on rough seas?
Benadryl
Yes so good. I haven’t been bringing recently and should probably add it back. I used to bring it when my kids were young
Do not use visine it is addictive and can harm the eye the same for a grin for the nose
Hi Ilana, I noticed that at about 5:29 into your video that your hair changed shape. Did your "on air" hair stylist and make-up artist have to touch you up or what 🤣😂😘. Hi from Bob and Jill in Connecticut ( don't forget the hair fluffer as #24)
Lol this video was filmed just before we left last month, and it was a crazy day 😬😂
And never give any of your prescription medicine to any other passengers.
Don’t forget your prescription ivermectin🤷♂️
