Packing for a cruise can be both exciting and overwhelming, especially if it’s your first voyage. With limited cabin space and strict regulations onboard, it’s important to know what not to bring. Overpacking or including prohibited items can slow down your embarkation process or even result in confiscation at the port. Save yourself the headache by leaving unnecessary items at home.
Leave behind travel irons, steamers, and extension cords, as most cruise lines consider them fire hazards and will confiscate them. Instead, take advantage of the ship’s laundry or pressing services if your clothes need freshening up. Household appliances like kettles or hot plates are also a definite no. Stick to compact essentials to maximize your cabin’s space and to comply with cruise line policies.
You’ll also want to avoid packing large amounts of bottled water, soda, or alcohol, as many cruise lines restrict what beverages you can bring onboard. Check your cruise line’s guidelines for any small allowances or exceptions. Don’t forget that drones and sports gear, as well as pool floaties or beach towels, are usually provided or restricted depending on your cruise and destinations.
