Carnival Cruise Packing List

Let’s talk about the ultimate Carnival cruise packing list

This week we talk about our upcoming Carnival cruise, and our thoughts on the best cruise packing list to support it. We’re cruising on Carnival Panorama from California to the ports of Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta, but this packing list works for ANY warm weather cruise. 

Today, we’re laying out our cruise packing list. Yep, that’s right, we’re going on a Carnival cruise to the Mexican Riviera, and we’re sharing all our tips and tricks. 

Well, we’re actually ON a cruise at the time of recording. If we passed our COVID tests! 

How this show is gonna go. 

• First a little background.
• What’s different from our last cruise.
• Dive into the packing list.

What’s different from our Caribbean packing video?

• We’re taking soda- why? NO drink packages. 
• Allowable champagne/prosecco too!
• But those drinks are taking up almost an entire suitcase
• I’m taking a large bag for my clothes- different luggage.
• Packing for theme nights
• Fun fact: we can’t check our luggage when we arrive because our son has to covid test in the terminal. Not sure how that will look?!
• NO flight bag. Instead, our carry on is focused strictly on embarkation day essentials. 
• Not going ashore- maybe at all. How does that change our packing? Not much really. 
• Liquid IV has a new flavor- we packed lots of yellow cherry, energy and immunity blend. Discount Code: CRUISETIPSTV
• Toiletry differences: Full size sunscreen, hallelujah!
• Accessory differences: A few wall magnets. 
• Taking a laptop? Why? LIVE trip reports at cruisetipstv.com
• We become Platinum on this cruise, so we get laundry services.
