This will save you space in your luggage and make packing a bit easier.Power StripPhoto: chanakon laorobMost cruise cabins have limited power outlets, but bringing a power strip is usually unnecessary.

Save space in your luggage by taking advantage of these options rather than lugging around bulky snorkels and masks.By leaving these items behind, you can save space in your luggage and avoid unnecessary hassle while on your cruise vacation.
