Frequently Asked Questions
What items are not provided in a cruise cabin?
Cruise cabins typically lack sufficient power outlets, hangers, and storage organizers. Bring a non-surge power strip (surge protectors are banned), magnetic hooks for the metal walls, a hanging toiletry bag, and a small fan for air circulation.
Can you bring a power strip on a cruise ship?
Yes, but it must be a non-surge-protector power strip. Cruise lines prohibit surge protectors due to fire safety regulations. Look for cruise-approved power strips that explicitly state they are non-surge.
What should I pack for cruise shore excursions?
Pack a small daypack with sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, comfortable walking shoes, a waterproof phone pouch, local currency or a credit card, and a light rain jacket. Leave valuables in your cabin safe.
