Thanks so much! Great cruise hacks. I've used all of your recommendations. One thing I would suggest are wipes. I use them to wipe the telephone and TV remote, and they're handy for wiping down your tray table and other areas around your airline seat.

One of my favorite items are the L and XL "Ziploc" bags. They work great to hold damp clothes, dirty shoes/clothes, and as a "washer" if I need to hand wash something in a pinch. I can also use it as a vacuum bag for bulky items. Just fill the bag with clothes, sit on it and zip it up. Instant space saver ;)

I take those, too, but I’ve never thought to use them as an emergency washing “machine”! That’s a fantastic idea!

I had brought a large Ziploc for some reason. I don’t know why with me on a trip it contained something.. when I was packing to go home. I had extra T-shirts for friends so I folded them up and put them in the Ziploc got the air out and they went in my bag easily!

I was just at Dollar Tree yesterday 😊 They carry the laundry sheets! It's laundry soap in (dry) sheets. 10 in the pack. Great to bring along for doing sink laundry. NO other stores carry them. Thank you for reminding me about decorations. Now I have to go back. Hehe it's walking distance...

I always hit the Dollar Tree before I cruise. I always find handy and interesting stuff

I like to bring a puzzle book, small size or coloring book, for the travel time.

HOLY COW!!! I JUST WATCHED A NCL COMMERCIAL AND IT WAS YOOOUUU!!! 😆 I recognized your voice and was like wait a minute... that sounds like cruise tips TV! And then yes there you were!!! So awesome!!! Congratulations!!! That definitely was awesome and unexpected!!! So cool 😎

Thank you so much!!

I have found the Dollar General near us to have some great travel finds. When I travel with kids I stock up on lots of small entertainment items that I can wrap individually and that can then be opened at intervals throughout the plane or car ride. Puzzles, books, small action figures, and mini card games are favorites.

I go to Dollar Tree at once or twice a week. You'll always find great deals. More travel bottles and personal products. The make up isle is a hot one with loads of different products, some a hit or miss. Don't mind buying sunscreen or medications if I was on a really tight budget or if I just needed it. It does work but I do have preferences for name brands as well. The Dollar Plus section you can find beach and summer items like beach bags and towels. The quality is good and it's not more than $5.

I love finding travel gems at the Dollar Tree. I have to wear readers now that I am of a certain age, and the Dollar Tree has readers that are sunglasses. These are great for when I am reading on the beach, pool deck, or balcony. Thank you for all your travel tips!

Totally agree about getting travel items there! I do love their coffee mugs, gift bags & greeting cards! Happy travels!

Yes, more shopping videos

Dollar Tree carries a short 8 pocket over the door caddy that works so much better than the full size one in a bathroom.

Here in southern Ontario Canada we have Dollarama and Dollar Tree. I have a number of things you've mentioned already stashed away for our Boston to Montreal in June. But since were traveling by train and bus to get to Boston, I'll be picking up snacks closer to the date (less chance of hubby, our sons or grandsons helping themselves and asking while their mouth is half full of whatever they found). I bought our water bottles from Walmart, though. Something nice and sturdy.

Thanks for another great video.

🎉🎉Love these creative suggestions and also this video takes me back to your other one from years ago❤

I buy space tape at DT, also known as Alien tape. I use this to put signs on my cabin door. It works great and doesn't damage the door.

I use the tealights as nightlights too. I tend to get the brand name OTC meds at Family Dollar since they usually have more of a selection than Dollar Tree. I'd love to see a video looking at Aldi or Lidl for travel.

We are getting ready to do a long haul flight and 12 day cruise. Venice to Barcelona. So I have made a little travel bag for my friends. I got the reusable quart size bag at the DT. I then gave everyone a bag of body wipes and cleaning wipes. Then in the bag they got 2 ink pens some Carmex, Kleenex, packages of hand sanitizer breath strips the Colgate wisps. A roll of the doggie bags and a homemade stain remover pen. Hopefully I didn’t forget anything

Thank you - very helpful. Love your helpful videos.

Great video. Here in Canada we have Dollar Tree, Dollarama, and some small independent shops. Dollar Tree does not get all the great finds that the US stores have but sometimes I can find treasures and I like that everything is $1.25. 😃 Dollarama stores get a lot of useful stuff but the price varies anywhere from $1.25 - $5.00.

Yes but dollar tree in Canada is most items at 1.50 and now more items at 2.00 - still some great deals. The other store in some parts of Canada is the Canadian dollar store (or something like that) and prices can start at 1.00 and go up to 80.00 on some specific items. And then Dollarama as stated which is the more common one

Yes! Also shop at the dollar store. I love these shopping videos

Dollar Trees are in Coachella Valley, CA. I found your channel pre COVID and jumped on the dollar 🌲 band wagon for travel essentials due to your recommendations. I like to look for the little crossword and word search puzzle books that keep me occupied while traveling to the ports.

My dollar tree sells small packs of laundry detergent and I always grab a couple to do light laundry in the bathroom sink… also ziplock bags & small hand cream tins🕶️☀️✈️🛳️

We have Dollar Tree, Dollar General and Family Dollar. But sometimes they do not carry the same items the bloggers mention.

I buy shower caps, candles and placemats.

I’m in Southern California I have several dollar trees near me. Dollar General is not in my area and the $.99 store which is closing all of its stores. Our friend of mine told me recently but a former CEO of one of the discount stores is going to be taking over the $.99 stores. We’ll see what happens. One of the things I used to always buy at the $.99 store was coconut water. One of the things that I stopped buying for cruising is mini tubes of toothpaste. Instead, I bought toothpaste that is dry. Save space when I have to do carry-on only.

I live in Miami, so I have plenty of Dollar Trees and Dollar General.

Love it! We have dollar generals every 5 feet here 😋 seriously though - there’s a lot!! But we also have dollar trees ♥️. There used to be family dollars and freds but DG ran them out of business. We also have DG markets 🤷🏻‍♀️and of course, being in Arkansas, we have some version of Walmart around every corner.

We have a dt and dg in the same building. You have to watch out because some items are in both halves and there is a price difference!

So glad you asked. #1 - I like Dollar Tree - but our $1 Tree is now $1.25 - what! I know inflation, but because of that sometimes the travel section at Walmart is better - maybe $.97 cents. I agree with party supplies and your take on trusted named products for sunscreen and supplements. We used the big clips like you showed on our girls trip in 2019 because I saw an earlier video about towel clips by you and others. Love your content and how you show today vs yesterday - things change and our approach to cruising is changing. Since you are in Texas now, I'm curious... have you done an end to end on cruising out of Galveston? If so maybe I missed it and should go look. Example, driving to port same day? Or still going early because of traffic? Parking options, etc.

You travel a lot more than most people

I do like shopping for cruise videos, but I’d like to see a ‘haul’ when you get home of what you actually bought- just a suggestion,

I just saw you talking with Ilana on the Life Well Cruised video, and yours just showed up on my KZread feed! New subscriber here! I live in the Houston, Texas 🤠 area, and we have Dollar Tree, Dollar General, and Family Dollar. None of the ones near my house look as good as, or are stocked as well as yours. If there’s something specific I’m looking for, I have to drive to multiple stores to find it.

Great tips. But personally I use ziploc bags for things like make up wipes and wet wipes from larger packages at home, marked with a sharpie so I don't mix them up. And, travel bottles for the toiletries rather than buying the travel size.
