More Packing Tips For Cruises
• Never pack anything in your luggage you couldn't stand losing forever.
• Tape your name, address, phone and cell numbers inside your luggage.
• Always carry your cruise documents on you and not in your luggage or carry-on bag.
• Stuff a small collapsible light weight bag or two into your suitcase. At the end of your cruise, use

dry cleaning. Sometimes it makes sense to do a load or two during the cruise rather than pack
enough of everything for your entire trip.
• If you choose to travel with expensive jewelry, use the purser's safe when you're not wearing it.
