River Cruise Essentials: What NOT to Forget to Pack

Hello Laurie! Love watching your channel. So many great tips and tricks! Going to Antarctica in January ‘24. That will complete my 7 continent travel. But more trips to go on after that. If you have gone through the drake passage would love to see tips and tricks for that!

Thanks some good ideas. For sunscreen I will still pack just sunscreen. I don’t think my hubby would like foundation in the sunscreen.😂

This was fantastic! So many great tips. Sooo helpful!

Love your posts. You have any topics with useful information. Thanks!

Is it possible to pack a formal dress in your carry on?

Use “bite” toothpaste tablets!!

Thank you for showing how to download Netflix. I am not a techie and I always struggle. However, I went to Netflix and downloaded five seasons of a favorite series. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Our river cruise is not till Christmas but I am now prepared and less stressed!

Laurie, I Love love love your videos!! I need your help, I want to purchase the flat plastic(?) pliable item you put on the counter for your hearing aides or earrings etc. what is it called?

Okay, what about packing tips for guys?

River cruise is our dream. Any suggestions on which is the best one? Also, I am 55 but I still am dressing cute...I'll wear 10 layers on plane to take my outfits 😂 Your tios are great. Love your videos. Blessings ❤

Anyone have suggestions on contact solutions and cleaner? 3.oz of Clean and Clear will go fast we will be in Europe 3 weeks.

I’m going on a 14 day cruise to Antarctica in January. I’ve been traveling with carry on only for the past four years but I don’t know how I’ll do it for the weather we’ll encounter.

We are planning on cruising the Rhine with Viking in early November. Any suggestions on what type of outerwear to bring, i have a down coat but it's bulky.
Thanks

Essentials?

Laurie have you done this river cruise as yet?

I am planning on doing the Viking river cruise for Christmas Markets next year after back surgery. We went on our own a couple of years ago to Munich, and a couple of other places it is so much fun

Don’t take binoculars on a Nile river cruise. There are many places where you will be questioned by authorities if you do.

I just returned from my first River Cruise with Grand Circle from Amsterdam to Vienna. I’ve watched all your videos since December. I am so happy I did because it made traveling so easy. Carry on, compression bags and backpack so traveling was easy with no heavy lifting. I found on my cruise I did not need any other shoes but my Tevas and my feet were so comfortable as it was very hot in Europe. I did find I over packed even though I thought I was packing light. Thanks for for wonderful packing advise.

I went to Kauai for 9 days...it rained everyday. Before I left I sprayed my light weight Columbia jacket with 3M water repellent. Work excellent
