Duct tape is one of the items that, as suggested by the American travel blogger The Points Guy, every traveler should have with them.

What is worth taking on a trip?

In his opinion, it can be used for repairing damaged bags, attaching luggage tags, or mending torn clothes.

Quoted by express.co.uk, the blogger described a situation when his luggage broke in two places and had a hole at the top. Thanks to duct tape, he was able to fix it in time for the trip.

Duct tape can also be useful for attaching paper luggage tags after a flight and before boarding the ship.

What to take on a cruise?

Besides duct tape, The Points Guy recommends bringing a luggage tracker, highlighters for marking daily plans, magnetic hooks for organizing tickets and dinner invitations, and an air freshener for shared bathrooms.

Additionally, in his opinion, it's worth having cash, a night light, a reusable water bottle, waterproof bags, and a cruise documents holder. According to the blogger, these items can significantly ease functioning on the ship and make the journey more comfortable.
