#15: Not Packing a Small First-Aid Kit
Many travelers assume cruise ships or port shops will have every medicine or basic supply they might need. But small problems like headaches, blisters, indigestion, minor cuts, or cold symptoms can quickly become annoying when simple remedies are hard to find or sold at inflated prices once onboard.

Packing a small first-aid kit can make handling minor health issues much easier during the trip. Basic items like bandages, pain relievers, antacids, blister pads, and cold medicine take up very little space but can be incredibly useful. A little preparation can prevent unnecessary stress and save time searching for supplies later.
