roger001 Posted January 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Many cruises back, we made a check list. It contains way more than we usually need. And it is of course specific to us. Some cruises we need part of it, sometimes other parts. However, we do review it faithfully before leaving the house for the cruise. It has saved us with a few items several times. While you are not being pressured as you head out the door, maybe sit down and write a list...nothing is too big or too small to include. And a pocket full of misc. cash is handy for tips, etc. Edited January 26, 2017 by roger001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising...our happy place Posted January 26, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Great list! We both empty our wallet and purse and bring only what we need. We always bring two credit cards -- since one was hacked into during our cruise -- and we were so thankful to have the second.

packer99 Posted January 26, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Also make a copy of your passports and call all your credit card companies and banks, tell them the dates and where you are going!! They could cancel your cards if they don't know about your trip. They could think somebody stole them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's some since that list was typed last. Handicap card, Hair Brush (twice I've had to go out at the port area and buy one), Soap Scrubber for the shower, Electric Candles (really nice for night lights in the cabin).

Maddawg54 Posted January 26, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Don't forget a photo ID. Even though you have a passport with a photo they still ask for a drivers license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
