The task of packing for a cruise can be a stressful one. A range of onboard activities, a host of different stops in several locations and a variety of excursions means that it hard to just what you might require. Different cruise destinations will require different suitcase combinations with a trip to the Norwegian Fjords entailing a different packing list than one to the Caribbean.
But one travel expert believes that regardless of the nature of your cruise, there are three items every traveller should be packing. Whether you are heading to the Mediterranean or the Baltic coast, the three accessories are vital for any type of trip.
The expert compiled list has everything that potential travellers need to consider in regards to their luggage demands.
With advice on footwear, evening wear, outdoor wear, casual day wear and even laundry, they have left no stone unturned in putting together a comprehensive list of considerations for cruise passenger.
The experts at celebrity cruises believe that jewellery is one the most important accessories on any travel packing list.
Wisely, they attach caveats to this advice. Firstly, they warn that you should leave your best pieces at home in order to avoid losing treasured possessions.
They also advise that not all safes onboard cruise ships work effectively and crucially, in many parts of the world, showing off expensive items can be a risk not worth taking.
A second vital accessory on any cruise is the old-fashioned wristwatch.
They said: “A wristwatch is key, especially when cruising between time zones so you won’t stress about missing the ship while out on an excursion, while an umbrella or poncho can help save a rainy day.”
The experts believe that glasses are the most important item for any cruise passenger.
Whether it be sunglasses or regular reading glasses, the advice is to ensure that they are packed and ready to be used so that you can get on with enjoying a well-earned break.
They said: “Topping your cruise packing list should be your eyeglasses and sunglasses. Do be sure to bring along some protective cases to help keep them intact during all of your travels.”
