Cruise ship holidays see hundreds of passengers flock onto the enormous floating hotels. Throughout the trip, holidaymakers stay in cabins which can vary depending on your budget and needs. A cruising expert has explained that there’s one thing you’ll need for a cabin while on a cruise, no matter how superior the room is.
Coulter recommended packing an extension lead in your cruise luggage.
This is particularly important if you’re traveling on an older ship.
“Older cruise ship cabins are also notorious for not having enough outlet space for all the gadgets and gizmos that most cruisers carry with them these days,” Coulter exclusively told Express.co.uk.
“So we recommend that passengers bring a small power strip onboard.”
DON’T MISS
However, the expert cautioned that globetrotters do need to be careful with the type they bring onboard.
Coulter pointed out the leads should have “no power surge protected strips (as these are banned).”
He also advised travellers to bring along adaptors.
“[You should always pack] US or EU Adapters,” said Coulter. “Check which sockets are available on your ship – as adapters in the onboard shops are usually expensive.”
This could prove particularly alarming for children. “This can be pretty scary for the younglings,” added Better.
He also points out that many cruise lines don’t provide clocks in the cabins.
Consequently, cruisers may want to consider packing an alarm clock or other similar timepiece.
“For whatever reason, there are no clocks in the cabin,” said Better. “Personally, my iPhone works just fine but it’s totally up to you.”
