CRUISE TIPS AND TRICKS
Smart cruise hacks, packing essentials, and insider advice from real cruisers.
🧳 Carry-On Musts
Docs first: Keep passports, boarding passes, and cruise confirmations in your carry-on — never the checked bag.
Meds onboard: Bring prescriptions in original bottles + a simple printout list.
Day-one outfit: Swimsuit + flip-flops = pool-ready before luggage arrives.
Money mix: Credit card + small bills for port tips and quick buys.
Sun gear: Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, lip balm — always handy.
🚢 Cabin Essentials
Power strip (non-surge): Add a USB hub to keep everything charged.
Magnetic hooks: Perfect for hats, lanyards, and wet gear — cabins are steel!
Nightlight: Cabins get really dark — bring one small plug-in.
Fold-flat hamper: Keeps your room tidy, folds away easily.
🌴 Shore & Sea Day Hacks
Waterproof phone pouch: A must for beach or pool days.
Towel clips: Windy decks won’t steal your spot!
Reusable bottle: Stay hydrated onboard without paying extra.
Tote bag: Bring one for shore days + souvenirs.
⚓ Pro Tips
Arrive early: Always fly or drive the day before sailing.
Set airplane mode: Avoid those painful roaming fees at sea.
Relax: You’re officially on island time — Cruise Time Booker’s got you. 🏝️
Unpack early: Slide luggage under the bed, claim your space.
Smile at the crew: A little kindness gets you far onboard.
Catch sunrise once: Totally worth the early wake-up. 🌅
🌟 Advanced Cruiser Secrets
🧳 Pro Packing Hacks
• Roll clothing to save space — cruise cabins LOVE compact packing.
• Pack 2 swimsuits — one drying while you wear the other.
• Use packing cubes to instantly organize your cabin drawers.
• Bring a mini first-aid kit: seasick pills, band-aids, aloe, Tylenol.
• Ziplock bags solve EVERYTHING: wet clothes, snacks, waterproofing.
🚢 Onboard Secrets
• Eat in the MDR the first night — ships test their BEST menus day one.
• Visit Guest Services late at night to avoid lines.
• Deck 7–8 midship = smoothest ride if you’re motion-sensitive.
• Go to the spa tour on embarkation day — they hand out freebies.
• Watch sail-away from the top-aft deck — best photos, fewer people.
🏝️ Port-Day Power Tips
• Leave the ship 15 minutes after the rush — you skip the chaos.
• Screenshot your excursion details — port cell service is sketchy.
• ALWAYS carry ship time, not port time.
• Take a photo of your ship + pier location before exploring.
• Book private excursions 30–40% cheaper — but confirm return time!
