A friend of mine packed four evening gowns for her first cruise and not a single band aid. By the time we hit embarkation day she was combing the ship's gift shop for blister pads because her new sandals were destroying her feet. 🩹 The packing lessons that actually matter usually aren't the obvious ones. A couple of command strips and a small magnetic hook turn a blank metal cabin door into extra hanging space for hats, lanyards, and wet swimsuits. A collapsible mesh laundry bag keeps your dirty clothes from taking over your suitcase on the last night, and an over the door shoe organizer is basically a second dresser for sunscreen, chargers, and snacks that would otherwise roll off the nightstand every time the ship rocks. ⚓️ Keep one full outfit and any medication in your carry on too, since checked luggage can take hours to show up at your cabin door. What's the one thing you always forget until you're already onboard? #CruiseTips #PackingHacks #CruiseLife #TravelTips #CruisePacking
