To save space during packing, put socks inside shoes. Don’t buy fancy packing cubes. Use zipper-lock freezer bags from the grocery. They come in a variety of sizes.
I booked my first cruise by myself. I have no issues. I kept it simple. $1300 australian dollar per person 7 nights alaska. No drinks package. No wifi. I did pre book excursions. 😂 i did book through the cruise line. We are coming to alaska 8 days ahead of the cruise..
I would add one more tip... instead of each person having their own suitcase, split what the pair of you are packing into 2 separate bags with the other person doing the same. If one suitcase goes missing at least both of you will have something to wear.
@@Eatsleepcruise1 Yes... on a trip to Portugal with our kids. One of the suitcases (including my toiletries) went missing somewhere and did not show up where we were staying for 5 days. Fortunately we had split each family members clothes about equally between all four bags and toiletries were easy to find locally.
We always do that my friends suit case went missing and didn't have it all holiday. She just had the clothes she was wearing.some passages gave her some items for her to wear
QUESTION FOR ANYONE. My ship will be coming into Southampton for 9 hours. The excursion for my cruise line to London is sold out. I really want to go to London. Any ideas? I have to be on the ship by 6PM.

That sounds amazing! Have you cruised before?

That is a great tip. We actually do that for all our trips, not just cruises. Have you ever had your luggage delayed or lost?
