My Minimalist Cruise Toiletry Bag
I travel fairly minimally when cruising and my toiletries are no exception. I try to bring only what I absolutely need.

Navigator of the Seas New Year's Cruise to the Mexican Riviera!
Still not vegan friendly at all after all these years. One option for each course is absolutely shameful. Asparagus as a main course?
The asparagus was with a risotto but I agree. The old menus had more choices. I stopped eating in the dining room because I don't like the options. We were just on the Jewel of the Seas for 13 nights and I couldn't eat plant based because I would have starved. Vegetarian was really hard even with many meals being repetitive. We are on another ship in a few weeks and we will be back in the dining room because my friend is celiac but I don't like half the food in the menu so I doubt I'll eat vegan for dinner.
Good job! Thanks for the information!
Thanks so much for watching!
One thing I will add for our next cruise is throat lozenges! A cold was going around on our current cruise and unfortunately my brother caught it. The shops on the ship were completely sold out!
Hi beautiful Iive stream , can I please ask when you go live do you use UA-cam app itself or some stream app because your live video quality is good .. everytime I try video quality is that . Will appreciate your reply . Thank you
Thanks! I just use the UA-cam app. Internet speed matters most when it comes to the quality of a live stream.
@@travelingbeyondboundaries Thankyou I will see how it goes next time👍
Wish I was there 👌😍
Wish you were here too! Hopefully one day!!
Gosh its so gorgeous! I would love to sit at a cafe, sip hot chocolate & enjoy the view 😍
It was so beautiful! We enjoyed having our meals on the ship just staring out at it!
Love it!! Thank you for sharing 🥰 have a wonderful cruise 🚢❤️
Which travel bottle do you use? I took one on my last trip, BRAND new and all of them we ordered leaked/broke
Oh no! Kemier is the brand I have. I honestly just bought a random one on Amazon. I haven't had any issues with it and I've had it for years. This is the link to the Canadian site but it might auto direct to your country one amzn.to/4cHZ7EU
Ok the putting each other’s clothes in the other person’s luggage….actually genius and I’m surprised I’ve not thought to do that before!
I'm not sure where I heard of it before but it made total sense to do! Thankfully I've never had my luggage lost before but I like having the back up just in case.
“The things I am hearing”?? 🤦🏼♂️

Very helpful 👍 some great tips & advice
Have you ask for this? Or is an you find in regoular menu’s??
It's right on the regular menu ☺️
Can you drop off your luggage with a porter at the terminal for princess cruise pier 27 or do you have to get in a line with your luggage?
Are you talking about pier 27 in San Francisco? Sorry there are a lot of cruise ports and I'm not super familiar with that one other than I have clients going there next year. It's not a common port for myself or clients. Every port I've been at had luggage drop off through so I'm guessing it will be the same there.
@@travelingbeyondboundaries yes pier 27 in San francisco. I think you just get in line with your luggage and hand it to them.
Hi there we will be I. The same room have any of the other outlet plugs been identified in the room? Wondering how many there were and if they’re normal American outlets!
If I recall correctly this room only had 2 North American outlets. We used an adaptor because there weren't enough. This is the one I have: www.amazon.com/Cruise-Power-Strip-USB-Outlets/dp/B07BHVKPC3/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1KPIRT2LNG1LR&keywords=cruise+on+power&qid=1696904400&sprefix=cruise+on+powe%252Caps%252C137&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=travelingbe06-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=d5e344279b64dc4edf3a2e254a34de52&camp=1789&creative=9325
@@travelingbeyondboundariesperfect thank you so much just ordered it!
Do you also do bookings for ppl outside of canada / usa & for other regions?
For Princess I can but I think it has to be USD or Canadian. Other cruise lines I'm not sure. I book any destination but I know the most about Caribbean, Alaska, and Europe so I tend to book those.
Thank you again Michelle for your content. I really enjoy it & love seeing Emrys and her progress too. She looks so happy on the cruises, hopping all over the world, I think about the others from the orphanage who maybe didn't get the chance to have an angel like you come into their lives. She is blessed 😇 I remember watching the videos with you ttc and it failing..then all the stress with her adoption & the papers not going through / courts getting shut down. I'm so glad it worked out so beautifully in the end.
Thank you so much! During the process it was so hard but now I truly believe it was meant to happen to bring us together!
What do you think of anthem of the seas? We have Anthem coming here to Aus at the moment we have Oasis and Ovation.
It's a bit smaller than the Oasis but not much. I like the deck plan better than Oasis but it's still a much bigger ship than I personally like.
thanks that was very interesting & I agree I hate paper straws!!
Thankfully she's been doing ok with them for the most part but they are still so frustrating lol.
It's a good start. I'm sure if the chef put their mind to it and mustered up all their culinary skills they could do better and expand on it.
Definitely! I'm looking forward to seeing how things are on our next Princess cruise. They should check with the Holland America because they have amazing vegan options lol

Thank you for your video. We are looking into Princess. If Sun Princess is not the best, what is your favorite PRINCESS SHIP 🛳 ?
I feel the Royal class ships are amazing! We are currently booked for the Sky Princess and Discovery Princess. We have enjoyed the Grand class but they are smaller and a lot less food options at the buffet. The Royal class are newer and have an amazing buffet. Where are you looking to cruise to?
Wow! Thank you for the fast reply! I'll check out the royal class. To answer your question, we are leaning towards the Caribbean, but several years out due to saving some 💰 You seem very knowledgeable. Are you a travel agent?
Lots of ship options for the Caribbean! I've been on Ruby Princess and Caribbean Princess there and that's where we are going on Sky Princess. Yes, I'm a Certified Cruise Counsellor and Princess is my preferred cruise line. If you have Facebook I have a group for advice and destinations. It's at facebook.com/groups/travelingbeyondboundaries
I was on the naming ceremony cruise. I didn’t like the ship at all. Eatery was the same exact food every single day and you could tell that some things were not cooked daily (left overs). International cafe had the exact same thing every single day. No variety is boring. Restrooms stopped flushing on our floor on day two. It took few hours to fit it as a helicopter was coming in from Spain to pick up an injured waiter. So top floors were blocked off and everyone was in line to use the restrooms outside the casino. I wouldn’t do the Sun even if it was free.
I'm sorry it was such a bad experience! I'm so disappointed in this ship. We are on it for 21 days and it seems like the food will be boring. I don't need a ton of variety but for that long I don't want the same thing every day, especially as left overs!
@@travelingbeyondboundaries it was so bad that I had zero motivation to record for my channel. That never happened before. But with 21 days, the good thing will be the ports for seeing wonderful places and eating delicious local cuisine. The food in the pool area was great! We didn’t get to eat there much as it was cold, windy and rainy on some of the days. I hope things will be better by the time you sail. Have a safe and wonderful trip! 😊 BTW, I did a little montage of the foods we liked on my channel. If you’re able to do Spellbound, do it. It was good food, amazing drinks at the bar with bunch of fun tipsy people who will be excited with everything magic.
Thanks, I'll have to check it out! My brother and I don't drink. My daughter and I have dietary restrictions so I don't think spellbound is for us even though I've heard good things about it.
@@travelingbeyondboundaries Have a great trip and looking forward to seeing your update post cruise.
Wow, even Caribbean Princess has 3 casual options.
GREAT VIDEO...... 2 questions come to mind after watching this 1.) how did you know where your Mustar Station was when enetering the boat? Secondly we have the Penthouse Suite on the Majectic so we are supposed to have special boarding how does that work?
Thanks for watching! The app will show you where to go once on board. It can even direct you to it! Crew are happy to help as well. We've cruised enough with Princess that we tend to know where to go but the app is amazing for giving directions to places. For priority boarding, they will direct you once on board. It most likely is with the Platinum and Elite boarding group so look out for those signs. There should be signage saying Suite Guests. Have a great time on your cruise!
@@travelingbeyondboundaries may I ask another question? We are a group of 20..... We all have the preimer plus, I heard something about pre-buying bottled water to have in your room being a primer plus do we get as much bottled water as we want?
You don't need to buy bottled water, it's included in your package.
@@travelingbeyondboundaries Thanks wasn't sure if we were limited as part of our 15 daily drinks... Keep putting out the great videos
Nope, the 15 day limit is only for alcohol. All other drinks are unlimited.
Interesting seeing the laundry room & good tips, thank you
Thanks for watching!
I have never been to the laundry room on any cruise so I enjoyed seeing one in this video lol 👍
Princess is one of the few lines that have them. They are so convenient, especially on longer cruises.
To see a full tour of the ship check out this video ua-cam.com/video/uxNlNRU3NoU/v-deo.html
Just sailed Princess (May 2024) to Caribean... ate vegan supper menu in DaVinci dining room... full course meal must be ordered the day before, no choice of dish, and no dessert menu... compared to the abundant food choices my traveling companions had, I was very disappointed... shipwide I could get a vegan burger, but no vegan pizza, pastries, or ice cream... only sorbet :>( I did get a coconut/banana/chocolate Shirley temple smoothie at the bar...
Thanks so much for sharing. We are sailing with Princess in December but I don't eat in the dining room so it will be interesting to see what my options will be. We have two cruises with Royal Caribbean before that (one I will eat in the MDR) and they always have vegan options easily, including desserts, even at the buffet. I saw Holland America has a lot of vegan options, even stuff like vegan crepes and pancakes! The food is honestly the thing that makes Princess harder for me. What ship were you on?

Great information! What was your other channel?
@canadabycar is our new channel focusing on road trips in Canada
Keep an eye on timings! I caught a rogue vlogger telling me its 24hrs! Haha tried the door for full 20 secs before seeing '8am-11pm'. Thanks for the info! X
Yes! It is definitely NOT 24 hours! They close it overnight to keep the noise down for the rooms around it.
two casual dining per person ? thank you
Yes, for Plus it's two per person for the entire cruise.
Very helpful & well explained
Thanks so much!
Thank you for this!!! Very helpful!! xoxo
So glad you found it was helpful!
As a travel agent were you able to go to the elite lounge after finishing all the academy courses ? Im going on a cruise soon and I have completed all the training, and was wondering if you were able to enjoy all the elite perks because you finished all your training for princess?
Yes! All the Elite perks, including laundry. We cruise Princess before and will continue to multiple times a year so naturally we will earn it soon but it was nice to experience it as a perk from completing all the training.
@@travelingbeyondboundaries ty so much! super excited to check it all out! Were your perks already attached to your medallion or booking # or did you have to ask?
They were connected to my Captain's Circle number which I linked to my One Source. My Medallion came as Elite but you can also get the sticker for it at guest services since it should be linked to your Captain's Circle number.
@@travelingbeyondboundaries ty you so much for your insight on this. I have my account connected already so im excited!! Keep posting!! Your content is great!! Information was so helpful!
Thanks so much!
What time would you recommend arriving if Princess says boarding starts at 12pm? Thanks for any advice!
I usually try to arrive 30-60 minutes before then. Often you can get through security and check in before then. You then just wait in the lounge (which can be very busy) but it's so worth it to get on the ship as soon as they start letting people on.
@@travelingbeyondboundaries Perfect, thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing this video. It was very informative and helpful! I'm making a mental note. ❤
So glad it was helpful!
Nicely presented 👌
Thanks!
