I just got back and settled from an amazing cruise. It was my first one and I enjoyed every second of it. I had prepared with writing out so many packing lists and got in touch with those that have been on several cruises. I did not want to forget anything.
Now that I have been, there are many things that I packed that I did not touch. I thought I would share a cruise packing that won't cause you to over-pack (like I did).
