What time of year did you go? We are going on Rhine River in winter with Viking ❤
About to take our first river cruise with Viking. However, we have taken at least 30+ cruises with various ocean cruise lines. An essential is to pack a First Aid Kit. Not just various size bandaids, but also cold medication, antibiotic ointment, Tylenol, Ibuoprofen, Immodium, and Meclizine…et al. And I carry the indivual packets of Wet Wipes. They too, help to remove stains in a hurry or at least prevent them from "setting".
I’m looking for a comfortable waterproof walking shoe. I have a narrow foot and pronation problem. Appreciate any suggestions.
What month did you travel? Don’t have a similar video for a summer river cruise?
Great info… forward to our first river cruise
Small tip, try tubing mascara, they don't flack, smog, and all you need is a little warm water to take ( glide ) off.
What is the silk pillowcase for again?
Thanks for this video! We’re goin on the Viking TIR Grand European Cruise from Late September through early Octoberand I’m checking off what I need to get beyond what I already have.😊
I love your videos! I've learned so many great travel and packing tips from you over the years and now, as we've booked our first ever river cruise, I'm so happy this video popped up! Thanks, Laurie!
We're finally going on a river cruise next year. So practical, thanks!
What time of year did you go?
What month did you go on your cruise?
@traveltipsbylaurie do you take dressy clothes on a river cruise for the evening dinners? That's where I'm struggling with packing "light"
We are going on an AMA river cruise and they will not allow curling irons or straightening irons due to them being a fire hazard. They do have some to loan out but not sure how many.
Forced my husband to pack carry on only for our fall cruise on the Danube. We also spent a week in Bavaria afterwards.
Tip for travel laundry. Bring a 2 or 2 1/2 gallon ziplock bag. Use the provided shampoo to do sink laundry. I also bring several foldable hangers to hang up washed shirts. Our river cruise on Emerald had a handy clothes line in the shower.
I am getting ready for my first European trip with a cruise for part of it. May I ask what month this was that you traveled? Thank you
I am sooo confused. I have the tessan adapter to be able to use in france for our river cruise. Why would I need a converter on top of the adapter? This is what i bought. 2 Pack European Plug Adapter USB C, TESSAN US to Europe Adapter 4 Outlets 3 USB Charger, Type C International Power Adaptor
Can I get a link for water repellent shoes please – need small size
there are plenty of stores in Austria or Germany that sell curling irons
What time of the year did you go?
Laurie! I'm looking for the links for a couple products you showed: the black rain resistant pants, and your smallish toiletries bag. Can you help? Thanks!!
Important message: be flexible on a River cruise.
About half of the people on my most recent Viking Cruise wore Hokas!
Your packing/buying tips were very helpful for my wife. But I wish you'd talked more about what your husband packed. Thanks!
Girl, I got the rainjacket in navy. Love it.
Curling irons are not allowed on Viking River Cruises!! You are lucky they didn't confiscate it!!
What the brand of golf pants your husband wore on this trip? We are leaving for the same trip in May. Historical weather – 13/30 days rain,
What month was this??
❤ been watching you for years. Love all your shows. Going in May on AmA
Waterway Cruise The large River Cruise, thank you for all your advice. I appreciate it😊
Why are the cute white sneakers? I didn’t see them listed.
WRT the shampoo bar you use, we use 100 Senses body bar ….for both body and hair. Hubby just like a bar of “soap” for his body….and I use it too (instead of body wash in the bathrooms) for the “stinky bits”. We also use it as shampoo…..doesn’t dry your hair out. It also has a waterproof zipper case. We get a new bar every 3 months, so take partial ones on travel, and just leave in the bathrooms after the trip is over.
We used an Australian power board (must not be surge protected) for our electronics.
We will be leaving for our Danube Christmas Market River Cruise on Dec 5. I am hearing that wash clothes may not be provided in European Hotels. Do you know if they also may not be provided on a river boat?
Cough and cold medicine! On a river cruise now and many people are sick with colds or who knows what. Protect yourself from catching something from someone else.
Adapters are extremely important. I was on a flight that was diverted due to a fire on American Airlines and we had to land somewhere in Canada. But because American didn’t have a flight there we had to wait in a 100x 100 area for 36 hours (yes it sucked). The most popular person was the kid with the $10 Walgreens adapter.
Be the boy!! I travel now with adapters in every luggage piece i have.
Thank you for these Laurie… checking my list by your lists! Leaving for the Danube soon+
Hi Laurie. The little bag you put your Lush soap bar in, is it available at their store please ?
What is the brand of your water repellent pants?
Thanks for this superhelpful video! We're packing for our Viking Rhine trip today and appreciate all your tips…
I'm not sure I want to thank you because I clicked on the Nordstrom site and they are having their sale and I am in big trouble now.🤭 But really, thank you – this is great info.
I’m so sorry to hear about your Danube River cruise!
We just returned from a Viking Danube cruise this week. We were fortunate to have had 3 days in Budapest before we boarded because we would have missed! Bratislava was was beautiful! But every stop on the river had evidence of the flooding; lots of debris floating down.
Viking was very accommodating.
I totally think it’s worth it to spend the hundred dollars.
Being able to just have a carry-on suitcase is so worth it ,not to be lugging a larger suitcase around.
Plus when you are doing extra side trips you need to have clean clothes.
My friend was on your same cruise & did not think Viking was very accommodating with the change in plans. It could not have been a shock to them that the river would be closed.
Thoughts??
Love your channel. I have learned so many great tips. 🙂 🙂
Is there a link to your husband’s pants from Costco? I can’t seem to find it.
I carry my hand sanitizer in my purse and always have tissues if you have sticky hands it will remove.
