Packing for a cruise holiday can be challenging for tourists holidaying on the sea for the first time. Although Britons won\u2019t need to worry about liquid limits, there are other things to consider.<\/p>\n
Luckily Lee Dobson, travel expert at TravelCity, has shared his essential items to pack for a cruise with\u00a0Express.co.uk.<\/p>\n
Lee told\u00a0Express.co.uk: \u201cTea bags. Many British tourists swear by their specific brand or type of tea which might not be available onboard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Drinks aren\u2019t always included on a cruise and tourists might find they have to pay for a cup of tea during the day.<\/p>\n
Even if tea bags are included in the price of a cruise, tourists might struggle to find their favourite brand, particularly if the company is based outside the UK.<\/p>\n

This means Britons won\u2019t be caught short once they\u2019re onboard.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cDepending on the ship\u2019s origin, the sockets might not be UK standard.\u201d<\/p>\n Cruise passengers may need to have a European or US adapter if they\u2019re taking electronics onboard.<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

While most cruises ensure their decks are slip resistant, it\u2019s always a good idea, especially if you\u2019re planning to engage in activities.\u201d<\/p>\n If the weather\u2019s bad the ship\u2019s deck could become slippery and British tourists could be at risk of falling.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a good idea to pack non-slip shoes to avoid any incidents and tourists should also bring good walking shoes for days out in the city.<\/p>\n Lee told\u00a0Express.co.uk: \u201cBring a highlighter to highlight daily activities you\u2019re interested in from the ship\u2019s daily newsletter.\u201d<\/p>\n Although some ships now post the daily activities to an online app, some ships still print a daily newsletter.<\/p>\n A highlighter will help passengers to stay on top of activities, particularly if their cruise itinerary includes lots of sea days.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/135\/590x\/secondary\/TRAVEL-Tea-bags-4959629.jpg?r=1694696793113\")
