@@CruiseTipsTV Sheri in one of your previous videos I remember you mentioning a spreadsheet you were using to compare prices for a future cruise. Any chance you would be willing to share that as well? We're in the middle of our planning for our first cruise and we have options for four different Lines, so having some organization would help. Much appreciated. Sean.
Watching these videos always reminds me of how low maintenance I am 😂
I agree, this is wayyyyyy to much stuff to bring! We cruise every year, and never need this stuff!
...cannot imagine going on a camping trip with this woman...
Looks like she brought everything from her house with her. Did they permanently move in?
I'm like her! ❤
Something I brought on the last cruise that was so helpful was a tray! I could bring back food, drink, snacks, silverware and whatever to my cabin. Room service is pretty restricted, so it was great. I'm pretty sure Princess used to have trays at the buffet, but not any more, so even just taking food to the table is a challenge.The tray is flat and light so took up not much space in the suitcase.
Now that is a clever idea!!!
Order room service and keep the tray!
one major thing we wont cruise without are insulated cups! On carnival there were areas to fill up on water/coffee/tea, but they only have tiny cups available
Good tip!!!
Insulated cups. Like those travel coffee cups?
LOVE to see that you are one of the many that use Thirty-One on your cruises.
Most valuable item we bring on carnival when booked in a balcony room is a bungee cord for the balcony door. It slams closed otherwise and it’s nice to prop the door open to enjoy the sea breeze on warm nights while sleeping.
Also a TIP for everyone is that at TJ Max they have those bags and for really cheap. They are great!
I'm not going on a cruise till June 1st but I've been watching cruise videos to hype myself and as soon as I found your channel I was hooked. I really love your content :)
Thanks so much! We appreciate the kind comment.
Where are u going we are doing a June 1st one too
Edits by Jema me too, I’m going on my first one in July, and I watch cruise videos daily 😊
CruiseTipsTV of course :-)
Miss Thrift I’m taking a Carnival cruise out of Miami to Grand Turk, La Romana, Curaçao and Aruba :)
You guys put me on to so many cruising items & they have been (cruise) life changing:
Foldable hamper
Magnet hooks
Packing cubes
Will have to add that usb charging hub
Would you be able to do a video on your travel binder? I really like the idea of that
I always bring an over the door shoe organizer. I hang it over the outside of the bathroom door and use it to store small items like sunblock, hair ties, medication, snacks, sunglasses, extra batteries/chargers etc.
Do you have any alternatives? My favorite cruise line charges you 100 in door damages if you use them
@@wisperrose which cruise line??
I love how you mention the wipes b/c MOST forget to clean their cell phones; which is probably the dirtiest and most-touched thing that ppl own.
SO true!
lol, I JUST wiped mine down yesterday! I agree - I'm always cleaning my phone with sani-wipes
wipes everywhere - over70+ cruises but over thousands of world trips wipes thats amazing a simple product -
Very helpfull. A power strip is great to bring if you can. And princess is a great line to choose. Being able to do laundry on board is awesome. Then you don't need to do it when you get home. The packing cubes are great too. I used them on my last cruise in February. They kept my cabin very organized.
I haven’t been watching channel because it was starting to seem a little too rehearsed and lacked the personality that you had before. I saw this recording today and was pleasantly surprised. Great job. I truly enjoyed the video.
Travel/insulated cup! The micro-cups (glorified shot glasses) available at the beverage stations (at least on Carnival) aren’t big enough for anything! Unless you are always getting soft drinks (read soda/pop) all the time...you are lucky to get two swallows of beverage before it is time to go refill!
I bring some Hydrogen Peroxide in a small spray bottle. When we first enter our cabin we spray and wipe the phone, TV remote control, faucets and door handles. Later on during the cruise we repeat the cleaning. This is reported to be effective in killing the norovirus. Also, USB cables connected to the TVs USB port provides an alternative charging station if you run out of free outlets.
Terrific idea
I like the binder to keep everything organized paper wise. My husband would be the one to make that work for us. I’m going to have to tell him about that one.
Going on my first cruise and I'm super excited. I've watch your videos non stop and I'm learning so much. I'm taking my 1yr old son so fingers crossed😊😊😊
So fun! I loved cruising with my boy at that age!
All great ideas, but I really love love love the magnets! I bought those last year after one of your videos. Careful though, they are STRONG magnets! Don't get them stuck together! LOL. Also, I've been using packing cubes for years and they are awesome when it comes to cruising or anywhere you might be staying for a length of time!
SO true!! I feel like they’re getting harder and harder for me to pull a part
Great tips. I can see that laundry will become a bigger issue as we move into longer cruises. Next month we may have to do some laundry in the sink, and certainly run laundry when we disembark in Honolulu.
I'm considering buying Carnival stock, especially if the market dips down more, or before Japan. $250 OBC and $200 a year in dividents ($.50 per quarter, lately), could entirely pay for itself within 12 years.
This is my first cruise and I am way too anxious.
I binge watched your videos before our cruise. We were on Carnival Paradise. Imagine our surprise when all of our clever magnetic hacks didn't work. The walls were not metal. Even our door was not metal. We brought a white board to have friends sign in and tell us where they were from. We managed to make that stick to the narrow door frame. We had a wonderful time and appreciated all your insights!!
Eeek! Yes, they don’t work on Carnival Fantasy class ships. Spa glad you had a wonderful cruise!
I brought a light line on my last cruise and was able to hang it on 2 of the super magnet hooks you recommend as a 2nd clothes line. Two swimsuits were all that fit on the existing bathroom line. Super helpful as I handwashed a few things halfway through the trip - socks & unmentionables were light enough for the magnets and pretty much dried overnight.
Hair and makeup look reeeally good today Sherry.
Thanks Lucia.
Ziploc bags (freezer ones especially) are SOOOO good for keeping stuff dry at the pool/on the beach.
We take a basic bottle opener (corkscrew) now. On a previous cruise our toilet started to overflow, flooding the bathroom (with clean water). It turns out the flush solenoid valve failed open. We immediately called maintenance and began bailing the water into the bathtub with the trash can. I knew I needed to get into the maintenance hatch in the hallway so I could turn off the water to our cabin, but we could not find a cabin steward (or any crew member) who had the proper key for the latch. Turns out my brother-in-law saw the square "keyed" latch and thought their wine-opener might fit. As it turns out, the small metal end that folds out fits the latch perfectly. He was able to open the maintenance hatch and I turned off the water before our entire room flooded. And without our efforts and quick thinking, our room would have flooded as maintenance did not show up until around 45 minutes later.
You look absolutely STUNNING in this video!
Ah, really?? Thank you so much Alison!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Thirty One Family Organizer! I use mine as toiletry bags and I use super strength hook magnets and hang them up on the wall 😊 I just wish they'd bring back that Origami Pop pattern.
I love your travel binder idea. I’m inspired by your organizing ☺️
SHA WILLIAMS ...I like to snap & Print pages to a 3-ring binder when planning out my cruise so I can remember what’s..where...?...
A heads up for anyone going on Allure of the Seas: Just called Royal Caribbean and they said NO POWER STRIPS ALLOWED of any kind. Just trying to save someone from getting it confiscated before departure. No idea about any of the other ships, though. Best to call ahead and ask.
Yes, I looked it up on their site and it said no to them. I'll just have to buy a larger portable battery to charge our things.
I'm taking Allure of the Seas in June, still getting my stuff together.
I am sad this was not a more popular video. We thought it was really helpful
I love watching your videos.They are very informative .I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one who brings a lot of toiletries/make up/ first aid etc.I put a lot of my small items in the drinking glasses that are left in the room before putting them on the shelves in the bathroom.They are easily visible.I have cruised 18 times.The last 3 have been solo cruises with Princess.My inside cabins have always had more than enough storage so I can get everything out where I can see it.As soon as I get to my room, I unpack my carry on and personal item.When my 2 large bags arrive a couple of hours later, I unpack those and get my room ready for the next 7 to 14 days,depending on the cruise.I tried the magnet idea last November and it was great for keeping the itenerary,reminders,etc right by the door; hats and light jackets too .One of my favorite purchases has been a clear, waterproof backpack with multiple compartments.I use it for my snorkeling excursions.It keeps everything dry on the catamarans and easily accessible.Looking forward to more videos as I anxiously await my next Princess cruise this fall.
Love it! #comebacknew!!
Loving your videos. we are booked on the Mardi Gras in like 2 years! but so excited already.
Great video and just in time for me to pack for our cruise 4/7/19
Happy packing!
Honestly Sheri’s voice is the only asmr I need
Thank you so much. I really enjoyed listening to you and taking notes. 👍
I love these videos versus the “studio” I feel like we see a more natural Shari. Love loving the podcast almost all caught up and hearing mr cttv and jr! You bring so much joy on my commute!
Thank you Mariella. So do we! If we had our way, we'd be cruising all the time and filming from our cabin! LOL!
This is a great reminder of all the fabulous tips in your packing/organisation videos. We’re less than 4 weeks out from our South Pacific cruise so I think I’d better re-watch some of those older vids!
I love this video. I am going on the MSC Seaview this June and bringing my mom and family. I will be doing lots of pacing so this is sooooo helpful. You excite me so much!!! 💛💛💛💛💛💛
Thanks for the information! I had no idea at all of the importance of all the “little things” that make your trip easier. 👍🏻
Our pleasure Grace!
Have you all been to Paris in October? I'm struggling with weather attire since it's my first time going there this year. Thanks!
We book a 7 day cruise on Oasis of the Seas in December. It's our 1st cruise. Thanks for your advice! Keep them coming. We need your suggestions. ❤
This will be our second time taking our boys on a cruise. Your organization tips really help. Our boys are a mess and if I hadn't used some of your tips, Man!!
Haha! That's funny! Keep cruising with those boys!
I just received the binder from Amazon, it will be perfect for my papers, letter size, and receipts etc. Super tip. Also do the magnets on the walls. I’m on my 8th cruise next month and think I have utilized most of your tips. Thanks.
I always bring an air freshener for the bathroom, the bathrooms are tiny and sometimes dont smell the greatest. I also always bring yeti cups/water bottles and bring my own water to the pool or on an excursion.
Good tips!
We recently took a South America cruise to Antarctica. Parking for that was challenging as we had to prepare for the warm summer weather in Buenos Aires and Santiago and we had to park for the cold weather at Cape Horn and Antarctica. Love your suggestings of stuff to bring
Thank you for this great video!! I love the idea of the travel journal, I think my 6 years old daughter would love that.
I actually bought a travel diary a couple days ago to write all of what we are going to do down for our upcoming cruise :) and im 53 hehe (well 53 the day we leave for our cruise in 2 weeks :) i also have a folder like you with our birth certificate and all our important papers in it for our trip:) that way it's all together :)
Love the travel journal idea! We also purchased the FujiFilm Instax Mini 9 for our 8 yr old daughter to take pictures of her 1st cruise experience. (next month) The travel journal will be an awesome way for her to keep her experiences documented along with her pictures. Also, we suggest you purchase micro-fiber beach towels. We have the sizes XL. They are: 1. Compact and fold up nicely in your excursion backpack (some come in their own travel bag) 2. Very absorbent 3. Fast drying 4. Sand free
Excellent idea!!! Hope your daughter enjoys!! Send us a photo!
World travelers! Get global entry plus TSA pre-check. Check to see if a visa is required. Remember to allow 2 days for travel to Asia and Australia. Amazon visitors need yellow fever shot. We enjoy 30+ day adventures and it all is done in one luggage and one carry on
That was very informative! Watched u guys for a while now and I'm still learning something new every time. Love the kids journal. Will have to get that for our next cruise.
Thanks Tammy! I'm so glad you liked it!
I would suggest a pen-sized flashlight. If you have to get up at night, you won't stumble around and/or wake up your cabin mates. If there is an emergency, you will have an easier time getting around the ship!
Love it! Good tip!
Why not a plug in night light?
Cell phone flashlight works well too
I always take a small flameless candle or 2. Adds ambience and serves as a nightlight to get to the bathroom. An extra one can live in the bathroom so there’s light without waking you up with the bright lights in the middle of the night.
Binder.. Nerdy.. yes... and I LOVE IT! definitely putting together a binder for our next cruise ♡
our out of comfort was booking balcony over inside - it was such a money saver but we booked a balcony for Alaska and NEVER WENT BACK worth every penny
Sure wish I had seen this BEFORE I took my last Cruise! 🤦🏼♀️ I binged a ton of videos & spent over $150 @TheDollarTree! My suitcase was SO Heavy that my companions kept teasing me that “No Way was my X-Large Suitcase going to make it onboard because the Porters would most likely purposefully drop it in the water”! It was so big that We had to stow it under the bed since it wouldn’t fit in the closet! 😱 Bottom Line... I used, not even a 1/4 of ALL the so called “Must have items”! The best items, IMO, Were: Towel Clips for your Deck Loungers, Bathroom deodorizer Spray, Sanitizer Wipes, a very small bag to carry around the Ship and a small Cabin door decor item announcing our Birthdays 🎉
PS: I was able to pack too much because We weren’t flying to the Port 😣
Suction cup hooks are great for on window/door/mirror. 😎
Great tips. Going on a cruise in June.
Well, I did a HUGE purge and ended up reducing our suitcases by 1 :-) only 2 suitcases and a carry on now!
My other half and I will be going on our first cruise in August on the Star Princess. I’m so excited and I have been watching your videos to prepare. I have to say that your channel is the MOST helpful I have come across. Hopefully I can be just as organized as you for my first cruise! 🤗
Thank you, that’s so kind!
Thank you for this video! My mom and i, plus a friend, are going on our first cruise in September. We have a mini suite on Crown Princess, and I was so happy to see the actual space! Thanks for your videos; you have awesome advice and videos.
sounds more like work then a vacation!
Great advice! Love your little tips and tricks.😎🚢
Thanks so much! We love to hear that!
Inspired, first ever cruise a mini taster booked April 2020. Still not sure about huge floating cities!!! Got a small ship to Amsterdam
Cool! Sounds like a fun first cruise Gary!
Just thought I'd share that I listened to your two podcasts on Spotify on my drive today and really liked them! It's nice hearing you and Mr. CruiseTipsTV talking together. It made my drive much more enjoyable! Keep up the great work! Cheers! :)
Loved this Sheri! It’s nice to see everything you’ve talked about in previous videos in use on your cruise! 🛳✨👍🏻
Thanks so much Brooke!
I like this type of video so much more. You do an excellent job! I dislike the viewer question segments.
Thanks Missi.
I wanted to do carry on only for the first time, but now I'm hesitant about doing it after watching this video. I might not have enough space when I factor in things I had not thought of before.
I have viewed several of your videos with ideas to take along. One thing I have not seen is to take along an eye glass repair kit. We needed one of these on a cruise and it was not easy to find one.
good tip Marlene! I don't take glasses, but that's a good one!
We always pack a suction cup mirror for in the shower. This allows me to shave while taking a shower while my wife is using the big man can't get in her way.
That's a great tip Wayne!
I've written down all of the things that you recommend taking on a cruise. I have 5 pages of written material and now I can't get all of the stuff I bought into all of the bags!! Yikes!
...and she packed all that in CarryOn only!
Even though you call it a waist pouch, and thats fine, the proper name is a fannie pack
Great tips. It's nice to see where you put things, too.
Thanks Jennifer! Glad you liked the format!
Oh my gosh,I agree about the gooey hand gel! Loved this video! ❤️🚢⚓️
Haha, right? Ew!
Can you do a vlog on how you do your binder please .....looks like something I would do
Yes! That is on my list! Thanks for the reminder.
Thanks .....find your videos so informative....even though we have been cruising for a while I always feel I learn something from them 😊
Oh my gosh, yes!!! Great suggestion!
such a great video, love seeing how others organise their rooms thankyou for sharing ☺💖
Our pleasure Wendy!
You bought a new travel clock! RIP old travel clock. I love the little striped body purse. Do you know if they still have it anywhere? Thanks for all you do! 😃
thats really packing light
Great video chuck full of excellent tips and great tips from people in the comments as well. Packing eye masks and ear plugs are good things to help you sleep on the cruise as well as on the plane ride to get to the cruise. Cheers! 😎
LOVE that! I can't sleep without a mask anymore.
ha ha! I have the same waist pack! my mom gave it to me and at first I was like 'no way!' but it did come in handy, lol
Where did your mom get the waist pack? Thanks.
Where did your mom get the waist pack?
A battery operated night light that does not need to be plugged in! It can be awfully dark in the state rooms at night!
Awesome idea!
We leave light on in bathroom and keep door open a little.
You can use the wooden skirt/pants hangers to keep your curtain closed...don't need clothes pins.
Katie Loveland glow sticks make great nightlights.
That’s an awesome cruise room!
HEY!!! You got a new clock???
Love your video! I definitely had a Word doc open to create a shopping list from your suggestions! I love your binder idea so much that I had to go buy one!! Thanks for sharing great ideas!
Thanks Melissa! Happy New Year!
I like your energy and passion and your channel, but I find some of these tips a little outdated. We use our phones for everything. We keep in touch even without a wifi package. As well we keep track of all things digitally; purchases, agenda items, alarms. There are apps for so many things, a binder can't hold everything a phone can.
Thanks to you I learned a lot for our first cruise, 👍
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Norwegian Escape was our first cruise. Absolutely loved it . What ships are alot better or same quality? And which ones should avoid? I mean after covid and all lol
Thanks for this video. I like the idea of the USB hub
Thanks so much :-)
I’m addicted to your channel. Going on a different cruise line than usual this time and first time with my teen daughter. Your channel helped me a lot. What’s the name and brand of the phone covers? (Waterproof). Thanks
Ah, thank you! Those phone covers are Mpow - u can find them in our shop:amazon.com/shop/cruisetipstv
Thanks!!!
Thank you so much for your help they are great tips
That's such a cute little purse! Can you remember where you got it?
Hey Kaylie. Which one?
Love your videos their very informative and helpful. Thanks
Ah thank you Kristen!!!
Binder is a good idea. We use a large travel wallet.
That's a great idea- you mean one of those sort of accordian type?
@@CruiseTipsTV It is like a big wallet/leather folder. Put the valuable documents in it. The lists and note all go on a laptop so they can be recalled and changed at any time.
Great tips nice to see them in use!
Thanks so much Laura!
Where did you get your striped purse and fanny pack ...so cute!!
I love your binder!
You are my hero
Great information Sheri.
Headed on my cruise soon! 5/11/19!!
Nina Cross Have fun!
Love the striped purse you carry! Where did you get it?
Loving the straight hair !
Thank you so much Karen!
Great videos thanks you are awesome 😀💜
