What NOT To Pack For A Cruise

Traveling can be exciting, yet daunting when it comes to packing, especially for a cruise. With space constraints and a variety of destinations, knowing what to pack for a cruise can be overwhelming.

Even more critical, though, is knowing what not to pack. This guide provides a helpful perspective on what to leave behind for a seamless and hassle-free cruise experience.

Before embarking on a cruise, acquaint yourself with the cruise line’s policies. They differ across cruise lines and dictate what can and cannot be brought on board.

Several companies, for instance, prohibit bringing personal alcohol, while others may allow a limited quantity. So check it out and save yourself a lot of packing trouble and unexpected surprises at the port of entry.

A number of cruise lines have dress codes for their dining rooms and other public spaces. Familiarizing yourself with these rules helps avoid packing inappropriate or unnecessary clothing. The last thing anyone wants is to bring a suitcase full of clothes only to find out they can’t be worn in the main dining room or the chic casino.

Preparation goes a long way in having a fun and smooth, memorable cruise experience.
