- Planning & Packing
Tap Into the Experts – It is a fact that 70 percent* of cruise travelers use a travel agent to book a cruise and there’s good reason. CLIA-certified travel agents have toured and traveled on cruise ships and can counsel travelers about everything from travel insurance, transfers and flights to dining options and cabin locations.
Browse the Blueprint — Get a lay of the land (or ship in this case) before boarding by previewing the ship layout on cruise line websites. Getting familiar with the ship before boarding can make the first few hours of exploring simple and even more exciting.
Consider Packing Some “Nice to Haves” – While everyone can figure out the basics of what to pack, there are some items that only the most seasoned cruisers know to bring on a cruise vacation.
- Power Strips – Bring a power strip to make it easy to plug in multiple electronics.
- Dry Erase Board - Cabin doors are metal so bring a magnet to mark the outside of the door, making the cabin stand out and easy to find. Also consider a magnetic dry erase board to use inside of the cabin to write notes to cabin mates or post daily itineraries.
- Wrinkle Release Spray – There are no irons available on most cruise ships, so bring along some wrinkle release spray to freshen up packed clothes.
