What was something you wish you had remembered?

[MommasLove]

I'm a first time cruiser, leaving in 2 weeks on the Fantasy ship. Besides the normal things like clothes, camera, highlighter, hair supplies, is there something that you forgot to bring that you wish you would have? Or does anyone have any good tips on things to bring?

Thanks for any help :)

I love having a over the door shoe organizer...with us all using different items it helps to have everything together. Hairspray, toothbrushes, hair ties, shaving cream, contact lense solution...etc. ;)

Aloe gel. You don't have to want to pay for that on the ship.

Tooth cement if you have any caps or filings that are problematic.

If you use a night guard, make sure it makes it's way into the carry-on.

If you have a lanyard, bring it! You can have a hole punched in your Sign and Sail card, and hang it on the lanyard. They can punch the hole in the Casino.

Also a larger plastic cup with a cover, for Lemonade, Iced Tea, or whatever you might like to drink. The cups they have are on the small side.

A sweater, hoodie, or sweatshirt. The ship is pretty cold.

You can also get a free coilie cord in the casino that can be used as a lanyard.

Sounds good! Thanks for the tips ;)

Why? Did you go to Thailand for the weekend?

[skttnc]

Definately some warm clothing....it is freezing in certain places on the ship especially the lounge!

I thought you needed help identifying something you'd picked up along your travels. ;)

cold meds & sore throat lozenges- I always end up with a head cold the last 2 days of a cruise!

I once forgot my large coffee mug. Those little cups on the Lido are just not big enough!

[corkyanige]

A wrist watch!! I don't use one anymore (so used of telling time with my cellphone)... so the watch has to go on my "remember to pack list" or it will be forgotten!!

[laumicmah]

A hairdryer. I didn't take one on my cruise in March. I assumed there would be one in the cabin...there wasn't. Apparently, not all ships have them in the cabins, but you can ask your steward for one (which I did not know and went with air dried frizzy hair the entire cruise:eek:).

 

Also, a small cooler, especially if you order beer for your cabin from Bon Voyage. The ice buckets are crazy tiny. We filled the sink with ice water and put our beer in there, but then couldn't use the sink.

 

Have fun!!!!

cokes! We ate a lot of room service for lunch due to late excursions, and we would have loved to have a 12 pack of cokes for 3 bucks instead of the 2 dollars a can.

DW leaving for cruise in a few days and forgot where i put her. How will I remember what to pack now?

[golfadj]

Good news just found her so not to worry.

Make a little first aid kit, even if it's just a zip-lock bag. You won't be able to run out to your favorite store & pick up your favorite cold medicine, antacid, etc... The ship sells a few things, but they're expensive & of limted selection.

 

Here's what's in mine:

Acid reducer & Antacids

Aloe

Antibiotic ointment

Antihistamine / Sudafed

Anti-itch cream

Band-Aids

Cortisone cream

Dramamine

Ginger

Ibuprofen

Immodium

Lysine

Zinc

[maldenmusic]

A hat or visor to keep the sun out of your eyes and insect spray if you are taking any excursions where insects might be a problem. I love the Fantasy and I hope you do, too :D

[BaconIsGood]

Id tell you, but I forgot! J/K

was not me, but My Girlfriends daughter forgot her bathing suit top, and Carnival didnt sell bathing suits! doh!

[MommasLove]

Thanks everyone! I'm adding all these items to my packing list. Thanks for all the help :);)

[MommasLove]

Thank you :)

DH left his prescription sunglasses in our vehicle at the airport in Detroit. We had to make a quick trip to a drug store to find him some clip ons to go over his glasses. He hated them. But since he can't wear contacts he was SOL. I can guarantee he won't forget them again.:D
