hi I'm Gary bdge from tips for travelers
0:02
in this video I'm going to tell you 10
0:04
things that you should absolutely not
0:06
pack in your suitcase that you're going
0:08
to hand over to be checked in when you
0:11
bought a cruise let's go take a listen
0:13
to the 10 things you should never ever
0:16
pack and I'll tell you why so the first
0:19
thing of these is anything valuable I
0:21
just received a message from someone
0:25
$11,000 drone in their suitcase thinking
0:28
it would be perfectly safe it was well
0:30
pack and it would appear in their cabin
0:32
beautifully preserved it was damaged the
0:35
cruise line took no responsibility for
0:36
it they didn't have insurance so they
0:39
$11,000 drone but you should never pack
0:42
laptops jewelry watches money cards
0:46
anything valuable do not put in your
0:48
suitcase to hand over to be taken to
0:51
your cabin keep it in your hand luggage
0:55
the second thing that you should not
0:56
pack is alcohol most Cruise Lines will
0:59
not let you bring alcohol on board so
1:02
don't put it in your suitcases because
1:04
the suitcases are screened I know lots
1:06
of people have various little tricks
1:07
they're trying get around the alcohol
1:09
rule but it's just not worth packing the
1:12
third thing that you should not pack in
1:14
your suitcase is medications so if you
1:18
are on prescription medications do not
1:20
pack those in your suitcase have those
1:23
in your hand baggage also very
1:25
importantly which is the next point is
1:27
any sort of illegal drugs now it's very
1:30
important when traveling particularly if
1:32
you're traveling internationally to
1:34
check what is counted as illegal so for
1:36
example if you're heading into Dubai
1:38
Codine is counted as an illegal drug
1:41
most governments will have some sort of
1:43
website where you can check what is
1:45
legal and not illegal but do not take
1:47
any form of illegal drugs the next thing
1:49
is never pack any sort of weapon so
1:52
whether it's a firearm or any sort of
1:54
knife that has a blade over 10 cm long
1:58
they are not allowed on cruise ships
2:00
again the bags are screened and are
2:02
checked for those kinds of things don't
2:04
pack anything that you can light so
2:06
candles incense burners those kinds of
2:08
things you're not allowed to have naked
2:10
flames in your cabin on a cruise ship so
2:13
don't pack them again it may get picked
2:15
up in the screen the next thing not to
2:17
pack is coffee makers irons you know
2:20
percolators anything like that you're
2:22
again not allowed to have those within
2:25
your cabin there'll be laundries with
2:27
irons some cruise ships will have tea
2:29
and coffee making facilities but you're
2:31
not allowed to plug in any of those kind
2:33
of devices now also check because your
2:35
cruise line may not let you bring on
2:37
board sports equipment so things like
2:39
hockey sticks baseball bats skateboards
2:43
surfboards many Cruise Lines will not
2:45
let you bring those on board so do not
2:47
pack those in your case or even try and
2:50
bring them on board also linked to
2:52
valuable items never pack in your
2:54
suitcase any important papers or
2:57
documents that you have again keep those
3:00
on you in your hand luggage do not pack
3:02
them in your suitcase and the last thing
3:04
and again it varies a little bit by
3:05
Cruise Line is something like
3:06
walkie-talkies and Ham radios now some
3:09
Cruise Lines will let you have on board
3:11
very simple little walkie-talkies but
3:13
generally speaking there are a lot of
3:14
rules so again check with your cruise
3:16
line or your agent are you allowed to
3:17
bring on board things like ham radios
3:19
and walkie-talkies so there you have it
3:22
those are the things that you should
3:23
never ever pack in your suitcase that
3:25
you're going to hand over to the cruise
3:27
line to have taken to your cabin
3:30
the most important thing to remember is
3:32
put nothing valuable in that case
3:35
watches jewelry drones cameras laptops
3:39
tablets smart whatever it is anything
3:42
that's valuable do not put it in your
3:44
case because if it gets damaged stolen
3:47
broken the cruise line will not be
3:49
responsible for it and also importantly
3:52
of course make sure that you do have
3:53
insurance to cover the loss of any of
3:55
those kind of things well hopefully you
3:57
