Hey everyone today, we're gonna go over the top ten must-have items to remember to bring on your cruise. Let's check it out
Hey everyone, it's Ken here from northern Viking Explorer. We are on the beautiful Carnival Splendor sailing off the coast of Mexico
We've already hit up cabo san lucas
Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan and we're on our way back to Long Beach in California now
I thought I'd put together a video for you on the top ten things not to forget
While on a cruise now, whether you've done one cruise or fifty cruises, there's always something you forget
So I thought I'd put together a list for you. Also. We have one bonus item at the end
It's a new one that we used on this cruise
So stick around to see what that is and let's head down to the cabin and we'll start checking them out
Alright so here we are in our inside cabin on the Carnival Splendor and our room steward has left us this beautiful towel heart with
A thank you note. It's the last day of the cruise
So he left that out there for us big shout out to Raul on the Carnival Splendor. You did a marvelous job this week
Thank you so much
I'd also love to hear from you
What things do you always bring on your cruise?
Think of those as we're going through this video and if they're not on my list
Make sure you post them down in the comments below. But without further ado. Let's get rolling
So all these things aren't in any particular order
But the first thing is a water bottle make sure you bring a water bottle on your cruise if you're going on
Excursions or at port you want to be able to have water if it's empty you can take it on an airplane with you fill it
up behind security
It's just really handy to have in your bag and especially in Mexico and in the Caribbean it gets really hot
So just make sure you have that with you
Number two is a little medical kit. This stuff can get really pricey on the ship
So they do have a fairly large section, but just keep that in mind that it is pretty expensive
Also, make sure you have some anti-nausea
Gravel or Dramamine if specially if it's your first time on a cruise and you don't know how you're gonna react
It's always good to have band-aids when you're at the beach. You always get sand in your sandals
Maybe some sores you walk too much. It's always good to cover those blisters up
Also your Tylenol your advil
different anti acids or stomach medications and also your personal medications remember to bring all those
Number three is some sort of power bar or plug expander
Our room only has a single plug in it as well as one in the washroom up high. That's kind of useless
So make sure you bring one of these. I've heard that some cruise companies only allow them if they don't have surge protectors
So double-check with your cruise company on that this one we picked up at the dollar store and it works great
It comes in really handy when you've got everyone trying to charge their phones and their cameras at the same time
And they're fighting over the plug. So pick up one of these it's only a dollar and it'll save a lot of fighting
Number four is hand
Sanitizer you are going to all sorts of different
Ports handling things in markets touching things and you just want to make sure you stay healthy and don't get sick on your cruise
Because you spend a lot of money to come there. So
It's really cheap and it'll keep you from hopefully getting sick. So that's number four number
Five is a lanyard if you haven't been on a cruise before you keep your room key with you
That's how you pay for everything. That's how you get on and off the ship a lanyard
You hang it around your neck. You always have your key with you. They do sell them on the ship
But I've seen where they run out. So make sure you have one of those with you number six a hat and sunglasses
Especially in the Caribbean or Mexico gets really hot. You don't want to get sunstroke or heatstroke. It gets really sunny out
Make sure you have your glasses and a hat
Keep you well hydrated there with your water bottle
Number seven is a cell phone or a watch. There are very few clocks on the ship
Our room doesn't have a clock at all on either side of the bed or anywhere. So there's no way to wake you up
I guess you could probably call for a wake-up call
But make sure you have something with an alarm so, you know what time it is
Number eight
Sunscreen sunscreen you can get it on the ship. It's pretty pricey. So pick it up at your local
Grocery store, whatever also lip balm with sunscreen it gets really hot. You don't want to get burned
I've seen people on vacation who are covered in sunburns number
Nine is a big bag
you are going to shore you are going to beaches you're doing all sorts of stuff and you don't want to have
Nothing to carry it in so make sure you bring a bag with a zipper
You can keep all your towels sunscreen glasses everything in there number ten
One of the most important is earplugs
It can get noisy sometimes on these cruise ships ii-if specially if you get a bad cabin next to an elevator or something like that
Sleep with earplugs in you'll sleep like a baby. It's such a great thing to bring it is super cheap
now
That is the top ten things and I promised you one bonus thing
So here it is. Let's take a look. This is new to our cruise this year
This is the first time we've used this so let's check it out
So the bonus item is wrinkle release
er
This is the first time we have bought this it was a dollar fifty at the grocery store and you just spray it all over
Your your wrinkles on your clothes when you have formal clothes, then it's really nice when they're not wrinkled
So we've traveled on a few cruises now and the few days of traveling. Our formal clothes are always wrinkly
So you spray it on?
you kind of rub it out with your hands and then hang them up and most of the wrinkles truly did come out so it
Was really handy for a dollar fifty. We used up most of the bottle. So we'll just toss it when we go home
We don't even have to take it back with us in our suitcases. So that is your bonus item. I
Would love to hear from you what items what hacks
