Our Cruise Packing List PDF will hopefully help you to remember the absolute essentials! A Cruise isn’t a “normal” type of vacation. Typically, when traveling, you still have access to everything that you’ll need. You can run to the local pharmacy for some medication. Pop over to the department store for some cheap sunglasses. Swing by WalMart for some beach toys…
That isn’t the case when cruising. When you step foot on the ship, you’re leaving behind all of these conveniences. That’s why it’s so important to make sure you’re Cruise Packing List is complete.
We’re here to remind you of the little things you’d likely forget (or not think of) when planning your cruise. Would you have thought to bring Ear Plugs for a good night sleep in your cruise cabin? Or extra power outlets to plug in all of your essentials? And what about your reading glasses for your morning Cruise Planner?
Feel free to Print our Free Cruise Packing list PDF below. You’ll find the above items as well as many more. There’s also a space to personalize your checklist with any items we’ve left out.
