Reusable water bottle
Day backpack for excursions
Highlighter for the daily programme

Astuces pour faire la valise

Photograph your passport and travel docs in case the originals are lost.
Check your cruise line's dress code before formal night.

FAQ

What's the dress code on a cruise?

Most cruise lines have smart-casual evenings and one or two formal nights. Daytime is fully casual. Check your line's specific guidance.

Are surge protectors allowed on cruises?

No — surge protectors are banned by most major cruise lines for fire-safety reasons. A non-surge power strip or USB hub is fine.
