SMSACE6 Posted December 10, 2010 #15 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I should have taken more photos on board the ship. That ship has been or is being scrapped over in India somewhere. Sorry I didnt take more photos of that ship. Had I known she was going to be gone so soon, I would have taken a photo of every single thing on board that I could have.

IslandToIsland Posted December 10, 2010 #17 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Less clothes! I so over packed for our first cruise. We came home with a suitcase full of clothes we never wore. Now we pack much lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriTX Posted December 10, 2010 #18 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Lady monthly supplies, even if not that time of month (horridly overpriced on the ship) Sunscreen, bring 3 times what you think you need (but since your sailing in winter you wont need as much) Throw in one more Memory card for your camera!! OH and batteries if not rechargeable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchiegirl6 Posted December 10, 2010 #21 Share Posted December 10, 2010 The hubby and I will be leaving on Sunday for our first cruise on the Valor. I have our bags packed with everything that I think we need, but what is something that you wished you would have taken on your first cruise that you bring now?? An underwater case for our digital camera! We love being in the water, snorkeling, diving, etc, and you get MUCH better pics with a digital camera in an underwater case than those crappy disposable under water cameras. First cruise or 2 we didn't want to spend $100 to get a good underwater case for the digital camera, so we got the disposables and all our water pics were grainy and the colors don't come out right. Now everyone compliments us on how beautiful our pics look. The case is great for the beach too and the waterslide. No damage to the digital camera at all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hywaybeachbum Posted December 11, 2010 #22 Share Posted December 11, 2010 A coat. When we left our house it was hot. When we got to Galveston it was about 50 and the wind was howling off the ocean. I couldn't find one my size on the island and when we got to Key West, I bought one. By then I didn't need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terri-eddie Posted December 11, 2010 #23 Share Posted December 11, 2010 My camera's SD card. I packed the camera, but left the card at home. So angry at myself...you can't buy them cheap when you're on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
