Do you have a packing list for kids?

[poohbear8]

I've checked cruisediva and didn't see a list for kids. I am looking for a list for kids ages 7-12.

 

Does anyone have one? My brain is fried after helping my DS with his science fair project! I just want someone to tell me how many shorts, tops, etc.

 

Thanks!

This post made me laugh. I asked my 11 year old DS to bring me the things he wanted to pack, I knew he wouldn't be able to really get everything, but I figured it was a starting place. He brought me swimming trunks, two tshirts, three pairs of underwear, one pair of socks and a dress shirt.

 

I looked at him and reminded him we were going for 12 nights. He replied very sincerely, "I should bring pjs then, too?"

That is too funny!!!!

 

We were on a 7 day ... here is what I brought for my 6 year old son...

4 swim suits... that way there is usually a dry/clean one

4 shorts (nice)... for on the ship and walking around ports

2 shorts ( for dirty play) sand and water and whatever else

6 t-shirts... we always buy new ones anyway if we run out of clean.

socks and underwear....cant have enough clean underwear... 10-12 of each.

3 button down shirts ( white to wear with black pants for formal night)

3 pullover polo type shirts

3 pairs of pants to match all the shirts ( black/blue/khacki)

one pair dress shoes

gym shoes

water shoes/sandals

pj's ( just one... sometimes too tired to get out of his t shirt anyway)

belt and any other accessories needed (tie, dress socks)

water vest and goggles

hats

I always bring two pair of pjs. On some cruise lines the kids' nighttime activities include "pajama night". After my daughter has been in her pjs running around and getting all swetty, snacking, and playing games, I like a fresh pair for her to wear to bed.

We are going with a 2yr old and a 9yr old. We will be on the ship for 5 days.

We have come to the decision from how we cruise ourselves-

 

9yr old:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2yr old: (29 months)

5 T-shirts~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~6 onesies

5 Tanks tops~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5 tank dress's

5 Dressy Shirts~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5 shirts

1 Formal Dress~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5 shorts

1 Spring Dress~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~1 spring dress

2 Pair of pants(jeans & kahki)~~~~~~~1 formal dress

7 Shorts (to go with all of the shirts)~~12 each socks and underware

2 Bathing Suits~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2 bathing suits

Tennis Shoes~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~tennis shoes

Water Shoes~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~water shoes

Sandles~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sandles

Formal Dress Shoes~~~~~~~~~~~~~~dress sandles

10 underware~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~pj's

8 socks~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3 pairs of pants(actually sets)

3 pair pj's~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~life jacket

water toys(snorkel set)~~~~~~~~~~~~water/sand toys

back pack~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sunglasses

taking walkie talkies for older girl~~~~~~~hats

hats/sunglasses~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~light jacket/sweatshirt

light jacket~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~8-10 pull-ups for at night

 

I like to take baby wipes along for just in case moments. No real water around when you need it. And I would not use the wet rags they use to clean off tables on the Lido deck. Even when the kids aren't with us.

When it comes to kids, you can over pack a lot. I use the theory of 2 outfits a day. 3 in port.

I hope this helps. We leave next weekend. I can check back in when we return to let you know if it was enough or to little.

Good Luck!

BTW: We also bought our 9yr old her own throw away camera's(2). So she can take pictures while in camp and for whatever she may like to remember from her trip(in her eyes).
