Exploring the Caribbean: Packing Tips for a Smooth Cruise Adventure

Embarking on a Caribbean cruise promises sun-soaked beaches, turquoise waters, and unforgettable experiences. As you prepare to set sail with RWM Travel, it’s essential to pack wisely to ensure a hassle-free journey. To help you make the most of your voyage, we've compiled a list of items NOT to bring aboard. Let's dive in!

·       Winter Clothing: Leave those heavy coats and bulky sweaters behind! The Caribbean boasts a tropical climate year-round, so pack lightweight clothing suitable for warm weather.

·       Excessive Jewelry and Valuables: While a touch of bling can add flair to your ensemble, it’s best to leave valuables at home. Opt for minimal jewelry to avoid any worries about loss or theft during your adventures ashore.

·       Hairdryers and Straighteners: Say goodbye to bad hair days and embrace the carefree island vibe! Most cruise cabins are equipped with hairdryers, and the salty sea breeze provides the perfect excuse to rock those beachy waves.



·       Full-sized Toiletries: Save precious luggage space by opting for travel-sized toiletries or utilizing the complimentary offerings provided onboard. Remember, less is more when it comes to packing toiletries for your cruise.

·       Beach Towels: Forget lugging around bulky beach towels—your cruise ship has you covered! Complimentary towels are readily available onboard for your convenience.

·       Surge Protectors: Safety is our top priority, so please refrain from bringing surge protectors or extension cords onboard. Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped to handle your electronic needs safely.

·       CBD and other illegal drugs: Keep your cruise stress-free by adhering to local laws and regulations. CBD and other illegal substances are strictly prohibited onboard and during shore excursions.

·       Weapons (guns and knives): Safety is paramount onboard our ships. Leave firearms, knives, and any other weapons at home to ensure a secure and enjoyable environment for all passengers and crew.

·       Expensive Electronics: While you may want to capture every moment of your Caribbean adventure, consider leaving expensive electronics, such as DSLR cameras and high-end laptops, at home. Opt for waterproof cameras or utilize your smartphone for capturing memories.

·       Large Suitcases: Pack smart and opt for smaller, manageable luggage to streamline your embarkation and disembarkation process. Remember, space in your cabin may be limited, so pack only what you need.

·       Camo Clothing: Blend in with the vibrant colors of the Caribbean, but leave the camo attire at home. On many of the islands, camo is reserved for the military and anyone else wearing camo can be arrested.

·       Drones: While aerial photography may be tempting, drones are not permitted onboard for safety and privacy reasons. Explore the beauty of the Caribbean through your own eyes and leave the drones behind.

·       Candles: Set the mood with the warm glow of Caribbean sunsets, not candles. For safety reasons, open flames, including candles, are prohibited onboard.

·       Homemade Food: Indulge in the delectable culinary offerings onboard and during shore excursions, but please refrain from bringing homemade food items onboard for health and safety reasons.

·       Wheeled Shoes: Cruise ship decks are not designed for wheeled shoes, so leave your rollerblades and wheeled sneakers at home. Opt for comfortable footwear suitable for walking and exploring the ports of call.

·       Fireworks: While fireworks may light up the night sky during special events ashore, they are strictly prohibited onboard for safety reasons. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the spectacular natural beauty of the Caribbean.

·       Inflatable Pool Toys: While a poolside float may seem like the perfect accessory for lounging in the sun, inflatable pool toys are not permitted in the ship's pools for safety reasons. Dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean instead!

By heeding these packing tips, you’ll be well-prepared for an unforgettable Caribbean cruise experience with RWM Travel. Bon voyage and safe travels!
