What Not to Pack

Whether it’s your first cruise or your thousandth, here are a few things you don’t need to pack.

Beach towels

You’ll be lounging by the pool or on the beach during most of the cruise.

However, cruise ships offer complimentary towels for such occasions. Save room in your suitcase and leave your beach towels at home.

Expensive jewelry

Many people choose to leave their expensive jewelry at home when they go on a cruise.

While this is up to your discretion, many people don’t want to risk losing an expensive ring at sea.

Also, wearing flashy jewelry can make you a target for theft while traveling.

Too many clothes

It’s easy to overpack when preparing for your cruise. Try your best only to pack the essentials.

Plan how many outfits you need during your June cruise and pack accordingly. A capsule wardrobe approach is best when packing for your cruise.
