Muffinz Posted June 20, 2018 #52 Share Posted June 20, 2018 well on our recent March / April Solstice cruise we made a list of everything we needed to take and we checked it 3-4 times the night before as we were packing our cases and again in the morning - thankfully we didn't forget anything..... but after the cruise we stayed in a hotel in Sydney (Australia) for 4 nights and when we got back home to Auckland (NZ) I unpacked everything and realised I'd left the chargers for our phones / fitbits plugged into the electrical sockets in the hotel room! I had taken the cords out and packed them, but for some reason had left the chargers plugged in...... thankfully the hotel sent them back to us a week later for about $10 AUD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighairtexan Posted June 20, 2018 #53 Share Posted June 20, 2018 A BRA! I wore my bathing suit under my clothes to board and apparently my bra was back at the hotel (or LORD knows where). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suec12 Posted June 20, 2018 #54 Share Posted June 20, 2018 husband forgot blood pressure meds. for 2 weeks Med. cruise. Fortunately in Italy, you can purchase a short term supply at a pharmacy without a prescription! We call it our Italian miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suekay Posted June 20, 2018 #55 Share Posted June 20, 2018 My DH didn't pack sufficient beta blockers for a two week Far East cruise. We asked at the local pharmacy in Thailand but they didn't stock his type. He could have taken his pick of any strength/type without prescription but we didn't know which would be equivalent. We went to the Emergency Dept of the local hospital, made an appointment for an hour later, then went for lunch while we waited. We saw the doctor who issued a prescription which was promptly dispensed. Consultation and drug for a total cost of around $10!

We live about 2 hours from airport expensive car journey home and back retrieved insulin which had fallen into bath tub. Moral of story check items off when actually packed.

Toofarfromthesea Posted June 21, 2018 #57 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I guess it was about 24 years ago when I took my first cruise. I forgot my birth control pills. On the upside, I have a wonderful, fabulous 23 y/o daughter!! Post of the week!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straughn Posted June 21, 2018 #58 Share Posted June 21, 2018 DH packed his tux, white dinner jacket, vest, cummerbund, bow tie, cuff links, studs. Notice what is missing. Yep, the tux shirts. Fortunately, we were able to rent one from the shipboard tux rental service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvcrusn Posted June 21, 2018 #59 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Dear friends were disembarking the ship when one of them needed to stop quickly in restroom. Everyone went to our bus transport and waited for them for the trip to the airport. They finally joined everyone and only when disembarking the bus at the airport did they realize that in their hurry to join the bus did they forget to retrieve their luggage at the cruise terminal when disembarking the ship. They had to go all the way back to the cruise terminal, then return to the airport! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggertastic Posted June 21, 2018 #60 Share Posted June 21, 2018 We drove to Southampton for a cruise and stopped off 3 hours in to pick up mil and fil for my husband to realise he was still wearing his gardening crocs and had brought no other shoes - trip to stores morning of cruise. Next trip we got to port to find he had no jacket or sweater, again we went shopping. Next trip convinced he’d forgotten his sunglasses he went out and bought 2 pairs to find he had brought them. I laugh each trip and wind him up to see what he’s forgotten only to find I forgot toothpaste and perfume on the last trip. I must go back to making a list.

Denny01 Posted June 21, 2018 #63 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I remembered to bring a passport... not mine! I brought my daughters’ who was not cruising with us. In my book, this is the winner!!! Too Funny!! There are so many good ones, but this is one that really sticks in our minds and we can all see doing. My wife has gotten a bit irritated after I’ve asked her more than a few times did she put our Passports in the doc bag, and then catches me looking through it.

cruza Posted June 24, 2018 #65 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Ever forget your passport? We did. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=713366 Sue My parents took by mistake old passports with the hole instead of new. Concierge had keys from the apartment and he faxed the copy of the passports, it was enough to get to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
