If you're doing beach or water excursions, yes. It keeps phones, cash and documents safe from splashes and rain. How do I do laundry on a cruise? Pack a few detergent pods to hand-wash small items in the cabin and avoid pricey onboard laundry charges. Heading ashore on your next cruise? Port days are where timing and local know-how make all the difference.
