If you love to change your look often, please walk with some form of picture ID. Preferably your Passport!

Do not pack medication or other items you may need in your luggage. Take the medication with you in a carry on overnight bag.

Once checked, you will not have access again to your luggage until they are delivered to your cabin.

In addition, an overnight bag is useful for your last night at sea. The cruise line will ask you to set your luggage outside your cabin for pickup during the wee hours of the last morning of your cruise.

Naturally, you do not want to wake up with everything except your nightgown and slippers packed and gone. Your friends might want to take a picture of you leaving the ship!
