- Senior commerce editor @maddieflag is here to give you the top three essentials you should take on a cruise. "I've been on more than a dozen cruise ships in my lifetime. Between studying abroad on a ship, family travel—my parents both spent their careers working for cruise lines, so it was the de facto summer vacation growing up—and assignments for work, I count myself lucky to have traveled everywhere from the Mediterranean to Alaska to the Caribbean via cruise ship. All of those experiences have made me something of a pro at packing for a cruise, if I do say so myself." 🔗 Tap the link in bio for the full list of what to pack on a cruise. ✍️: @maddieflag · 2% (opens in a new tab)
