Packing Smart in Your Carry-On
Aloha, travelers! Justin here, reminding you to pack wisely in your carry-on, as luggage can sometimes get lost before cruises. I have seen it happen many times while working on the Pride of America Cruise and sometimes the luggage is not returned until Thursday of the cruise! It’s essential to pack essentials and items you can’t travel without. Here’s a list of items for your “necessity/can’t travel without it bag”:
- Medications: Keep your medications with you at all times.
- Medical ID Cards: Important for medical emergencies.
- Passports/Documents: Ensure you have all necessary travel documents.
- All Reservation Info: Including cruise and hotel reservations.
- Chargers: For your electronics.
- Jewelry: Keep valuable jewelry close to you.
- Extra Change of Underclothes: In case of lost luggage.
- Deodorant: Stay fresh during your travels.
- Make-Up: For touch-ups.
- Toothbrush/Toothpaste: Maintain your oral hygiene.
- Important Documents: Such as travel insurance information.
- Laptop/iPad: For entertainment or work.
- Swimsuit: In case you want to hit the pool right away.
- Brush/Comb: Keep your hair neat and tidy.
By packing these items in your carry-on, you’ll be prepared for any scenario and can start your cruise adventure smoothly, even if your luggage takes a detour. Mahalo, and happy cruising!
