I take a cloth fold-up shoe organizer that hangs in the closet. I use it for day clothes organizer. I put my shorts, tops, undies in the cubbies. There's still space for hanging up long evening clothes.
great video. especially loved the information about what to put in a carry on bag. Also, those pink nails be nailing! I can't stop looking at them. Pink is my favorite color so I always notice it.
Great suggestions. Few of my own. Id suggest a motion sensor magnetic light. Used it on our Disney Cruise and it was awesome! Also, Magnetic dry erase board vs the sticky notes. Its fun putting it on your door and receiving little notes throughout the day. Saves you all the paper too!
Getting ready to go on my first cruise. I appreciate your wonderful tips & ideas. Love how you also show the items you mention. Great to be able to see the items you talk about! Thank you!
I carry a portable carbon monoxide detector whenever I travel. Purchased one from Home Depot. Heard too many horror stories of vacationers succumbing to CM poisoning in their suits, rooms, etc. Whenever I travel, especially oversees, it's in the room with me. Always carry extra batteries.
While cruise walls are magnetic, they are also covered, the covering seems to take 15-25 lbs off the magnetic hold of any magnet you use depending on the ship and the wall.
Probably one of the best packing preparation videos I have seen on UA-cam. Love the organisation and has given me some ideas of what to pack for my next trip. Very thorough and straight to the point! Excellent ❤
UA-cam recommended this video. I'm looking at this video and I kept saying this lady looks so familiar!!! I used to teach in Bibb County!! Hi Mrs Floyd!!!
Thank you for sharing your must have 25 things. We’re taking our 1st cruise in a couple of months and these are great things to have. Hope you enjoyed your cruise🎉🎉
We do check but have never found any. If I did find them, I would definitely not try to get rid of them. I would recommend not staying in that room and notifying the staff.
Definitely great information for me. Going on my 1st cruise in 10-2024. I’m concerned about traveling with disinfectant spray on a plane……not sure if TSA will approve it.
I have been on a few cruises before but it’s been several years so I’m watching videos to brush up on the tips and trips. I have been binge watching cruise UA-cam videos and I must say your video is by far the best. So detailed and so just straight to the point. Love it!
Yes you can. But it’s kind of inconvenient trying to maneuver it through the lines at check in and then dragging it around until they let you in the room. I have seen people do it, though.
@@melaniquefloyd388 yea you probably right, I just didn’t want to have to wait on it or them damage anything throwing it around 😬 I heard some people say they don’t get their bags until like 4, but I wanna enjoy my time and probably don’t wanna carry it around with me, decisions 🤔😭
Two things I wish I would have brought with me. If you have not had that time of the month before your cruise or maybe even if you have had it, just to be safe, please please bring enough pads, tampons with you to cover your whole entire period. It is to stressful, expensive, and humiliating to have your period come on early and you worried about finding something to cover you. Making posts on fb groups, getting little bitty pads from guest services, and paying an arm and a leg from the highway robbery shop for little pads that you have to double or triple up on due to having a heavy flow. So once again please make room in your luggage for a whole period worth of pads, tampons, etc Also if you are someone that runs hot and you sweat. Especially if you sweat from the top of your head and it just flow down making you look crazy. Please bring papertowels or maybe even a towel to carry with you while out. The ship especially in the elevators with groups of people and the main floors are hot. Maybe my ship was just old but it felt there was no AC in those areas. I know I seen youtubers talk about how cold it is and bring a jacket. It was the opposite for me and it seem like papertowels were not easy to find. I looked crazy for the first two days on top of being embarrassed. Also bring a portal fan, USB powered for the side of your bed.
I take a cloth fold-up shoe organizer that hangs in the closet. I use it for day clothes organizer. I put my shorts, tops, undies in the cubbies. There's still space for hanging up long evening clothes.
Yes! I love the shoe organizers as well! We do this on our longer cruises.😄
Instead of a can of OFF, I take bug spray in the wipe form. They are individually wrapped and easy to carry.
@@milaj778 Oooohhh, great idea!
Yes, packing cubes are an absolute must! Even aside from cruises, I never fly without them!
Me too! They are so good!
You can bring flat iron to press clothes too, use face towel to protect clothes.
I never thought of using my flat iron for that!😀
Awesome idea. I've never cruised yet, Watching lots of videos & heard irons are forbidden & I was like NO WAY!!! So, thank you!! 💜💜💜
@@lorimckellar2787 Yes, no irons but I iron before packing and use the wrinkle release spray and it works good enough.😊
great video. especially loved the information about what to put in a carry on bag. Also, those pink nails be nailing! I can't stop looking at them. Pink is my favorite color so I always notice it.
Thanks so much. I am always hesitant about colors on my nails 💅
Great suggestions. Few of my own. Id suggest a motion sensor magnetic light. Used it on our Disney Cruise and it was awesome! Also, Magnetic dry erase board vs the sticky notes. Its fun putting it on your door and receiving little notes throughout the day. Saves you all the paper too!
Great suggestions! I have the dry erase board but I will have try that motion sensor light! Thanks!

Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
Luggage tags a must!!!
Yes!
Great video! I’m going on my first cruise in January, so this was really very helpful! Thank you so much for this.
Awesome! I hope you have a great time!

@@fionaewan7431 Great idea. Is it bulky?
I never thought about this 😮thanks so much!!!!
Me too!!
All these are great ideals especially that wrinkle release spray and magnetic hooks great ideals thanks ❤
Thank you!😊
That wrinkle release is TRUE BLUE!
Yes, it is!!!
We always keep bathroom light on in hotels and in cruise cabin and leave door cracked..last few cruises i had a night light plugged
I will try leaving on the bathroom light!
Excellent video! I've watched dozens of what to pack videos and the most informative has the best content
Thank you!!!!

Have fun! Thanks for watching!
Loved the video! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!!!
This is one of the best videos Ive seen on what to pack on a cruise! Thanks!
Thank you so much!

@@GigglingKat True. I have better luck sticking them to ceiling sometimes.

Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Excellent tips! Thanks! P.s. i just purchased that quilted carryon! It had excellent reviews on amazon. Thanks for the recc!
Glad it was helpful!👏🏾👏🏾
Best advice, thanks for sharing .... I'm going to have easy vocations with all these tips... thanks from South Africa

Life has been life-ing indeed! Loved this video thank you
Thank you!☺️
Thank you so much Melanique for sharing such fantastic information. This will really help me for my upcoming cruise. Thanks again.
So glad it helped! Have a wonderful vacation!
UA-cam recommended this video. I'm looking at this video and I kept saying this lady looks so familiar!!! I used to teach in Bibb County!! Hi Mrs Floyd!!!
Well, hey there!!!! Thanks for watching! ☺️
Thank you so much. This was very informative. I went right away on Amazon to purchase some items. Thank you❤
Watching now. I have just about all of this . Great types thks
My brand choice is Lysol and Walmart sell a short fat bottle for trave
Thanks! I’ll have to try that!
Love the Magnetic hooks.. hang my cruise card next to the door so I never forget it
They are super helpful!
You are going to have me shopping for all of these items. Amazon here I come! 😁
@@kj7045 Lol! Happy shopping!
Thanks so much, I definitely trust your judgment when it comes to what we need. Packing now. Xoxo❤❤❤
Thank you!!!
Hello! Great tips! Do you pack magnetic hooks in tour carryon when you are flying or your checked bag?
We don’t have to fly to port but when I fly for my upcoming cruise I will have them in my suitcase.
Rather than a FLASHLINGT...
I travel with a MOTION DETECTOR NIGHT-LIGHT.
That’s a great idea!
Where did you find that hat??
This one came from Amazon!😁
Thank you for sharing your must have 25 things. We’re taking our 1st cruise in a couple of months and these are great things to have. Hope you enjoyed your cruise🎉🎉
Thank you! So glad it helped!
Do you ever check for bed bugs, and if you do what do you use to get rid of them or is there a spray?
We do check but have never found any. If I did find them, I would definitely not try to get rid of them. I would recommend not staying in that room and notifying the staff.
Do you have a link or where you bought the travel electronics fold up bag? I like that! Not too bulky and I love the soft side fold up with a buckle
Yes I do!
amzn.to/3Qji74a
Would you put your prescription medication in that first aid or somewhere separate and safe?
Thank you so much for giving info about the documents!
You’re welcome!!!
I have that Exact same hat and in white too😊
I love it!
Awesome info...we're about go a cruise very soon!
Charity
Thank you!
Can the backpack be used as the carry on bag?
Absolutely! I’m using it on my cruise next week. It’s better than lugging an extra suitcase or toting a shoulder bag.
Thank you!! I took notes. Much appreciated
Glad it was helpful!
Norwegian have irons at request and you can use them in your room up to two hours.
Wow! I didn’t know that. Sailing on NCL soon!
Most ppl don't wanna use a Community iron.
Very helpful!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Definitely great information for me. Going on my 1st cruise in 10-2024. I’m concerned about traveling with disinfectant spray on a plane……not sure if TSA will approve it.
They are ok. I've travelled many times with aerosols. Never had an issue.
Get the travel size and pack in your luggage
What an excellent video! Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful.
Glad it was helpful!😁
Thank you for the tips! Going on my first cruise in September
Awesome! Have fun!🤩
Great video.
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful. Thank you
This was very helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Check for bedbugs when you check into your room
Great Video first time cruiser July 5th, 2024 so excited.
I hope you had a great time!
I'm a confessed paper person as well 😂 Traveling with kids make it necessary for me.
Yes! Sometimes I feel like if I don’t write it down or print it out, it ain’t happening.😂
We had several bottles of wrinkle release and it didn’t work on any of our formal night clothes.
Oh no! 😟 It always works for us. We spray while on the hanger and pull. Most of the big wrinkles fall out.
@@melaniquefloyd388 maybe it was operator error lol that would not surprise me. I probably didn’t wait long enough
@@JoST41 Maybe. You have to let marinate 😂😂😂Also, it works better with some fabrics than others, so it may not have worked with your formal wear.
I was wondering what you thought of the towel bands?
I haven’t used those. I will have to try them!
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing.... Good tips 👍
Thank you!

@@kj7045 Thank you so much!!!!😊
You can communicate through the app for a small fee on most cruise ships instead of using note pads
Can we take a big bottle of wrinkle release like that on a plane?
In your suitcase but not your carryon.
What a great video! Thank you!!!!!
Thank you!!!
I love your nail polishhhhhh, what color may i ask
Thanks! I have no idea! I just choose what I’m in the mood for at the salon.😄
The mesh bags are so cute and affordable
Thank you!
THANK YOU❤❤❤
Can you take your luggage with you instead of checking it in?
Yes you can. But it’s kind of inconvenient trying to maneuver it through the lines at check in and then dragging it around until they let you in the room. I have seen people do it, though.
@@melaniquefloyd388 yea you probably right, I just didn’t want to have to wait on it or them damage anything throwing it around 😬 I heard some people say they don’t get their bags until like 4, but I wanna enjoy my time and probably don’t wanna carry it around with me, decisions 🤔😭
😊good information. I took notes !
Glad it was helpful!
If the hooks are rated 28 pounds it means if they're hung vertically from the ceiling 😊
Thanks! Finally figured that out on our last cruise.😁
@@melaniquefloyd388 💜 I found it in the small print on Amazon lol
Where did you get your hat? ❤
Amazon. I just bought another one recently from Temu. Search ponytail sun hat.
Thanks ❤@@melaniquefloyd388
Great video!

That wrinkle release did not work for me 😅
Very helpful
Thank you!!!
I love your vibe! I bought the big bottle of Downey can we not fly with it?
Thank you! You can pack it in your suitcase but you can’t carry it on the plane.
I enjoyed this video
Thank you!!!
Get to the point!!!!!!
