My Grandparents Have Been on 50+ Cruises, and They Won't Set Sail Without These 16 Travel Essentials-From $7

"With more than 50 cruise trips under their belts, they've seen it all-from the emerald cliffs of Ireland to fireworks over the Sydney Harbour on New Year's Eve. They've explored Europe's most charming ports, sailed through the Caribbean and Mediterranean, loving the ease of getting around by a ship as they've grown older. When I asked what keeps them going back to the open seas, my grandpa didn't hesitate: "Where else can I go to so many different places without having to pack and unpack?""

"He laughed as he shared a story about the time he learned that lesson the hard way: "We nearly blew up a hotel in Belgium," he joked. "Well, maybe not blew it up-but we did manage to cause a power outage for the entire building by using just an adapter." Now, he swears by the Tessan charging station, which has multiple plugs and USB ports, along with a compact design that easily fits in any carry-on."

Harvey and Trudi Feinman have taken more than 50 cruises and visited destinations from Ireland to Sydney, Europe, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean. They appreciate the ease of ship travel as they have grown older and value being able to visit many places without frequent packing and unpacking. Cruising accommodates romantic getaways, family trips, and party cruises, with onboard activities to customize each itinerary. The couple has perfected packing and recommends specific travel essentials. Harvey prioritizes a universal charging station to handle different plugs and voltages, and he uses small clear travel bottles to meet TSA limits.
