Packing list


Recommended Posts

Here's what I pack so I don't have to buy anything extra on bored. Once your own the boat things like sunscreen are more expensive. This is a good base for new cruisers. Feel free to add any other tips or tricks on packing and what you bring. bb358712fc121c127939b8917624768d.jpg

And what do you advise for the male of the species ?????

 

 

 

If your cruising I would still suggest most of this you probably don't need like elegant dress, sun dresses, cover up , bras, night gowns, perfume. You could bring a suit , a pool side tshirt/ wife beater, I would bring like nice shorts polo style and probably some basket ball shorts, I feel like most guys sleep in boxers so wouldn't worry to much about that, and maybe some like old spice body spray. My husband brings sandals and a pair of flip flops, if we plan on doing any hiking type excursions he will bring his hiking boots. He also always brings a pair of jeans and a hoodie.

are carry on which you carry on the first day with anything you need before you room is ready most people bring like a change of clothes, a swimsuit, passport, id, insurance card, boarding pass, a lanyard and all the documents to get on the boat.... and then we turn it into an excursion bag for the week once the room Is ready with a water bottle, towel , poncho, documents/ money, sunscreen. Also in my packing, I have my own personal mini pharmacy bag things are way expensive on the boat and normally I just refill as needed and keep with my luggage.

Interesting list. I assume it is for cruising in the Caribbean. Our first cruise was to Alaska, so, I didn't take sundresses and flip-flops.

Also, I use the soap, shampoo and conditioner supplied by the cruise line, I don't bother taking my own.

I realize many people use a lanyard, but not for me.

But, why do you need a "gift card for ac" and "bungie cords"? I've never packed these, what am I missing?

Yes this is a Caribbean list. On norweigon you have to have a card in the spot in the room to keep the lights and ac running other wise they turn off when you leave. The bungee cords are for some balcony doors so they don't slam shut with wind.

Thanks for the reply. I've never been on a ship that need a card in the slot to keep ac on - I wonder how common that is?

And for the bungee cords - I've always read that you are NOT to keep your balcony doors open - it causes problems for the ac in nearby cabins.
