[lisap612]

I thought I had seen a 1 page 3 column list of things to pack for a cruise. Does anyone know where I'd find that?

Thanks!

A sample list:

 

Unisex Carry-on Bag

Your carry-on bag should have the essential stuff you need to survive if all other luggage is lost. That probably won't happen but you'll feel better knowing you have this essential stuff with you. Here's my list of stuff that goes in my survival bag:

• Prescription Medications
  
• A change of clothes- if all is lost I have two outfits (this won't happen)
  
• Swimsuit- might want to swim before the luggage arrives
  
• Half our cash and credit cards

Community Bag

This one is one of the most important and is shared by everybody in your party and includes things that everyone will need. Who carries this one is always a problem so assign it to one of the kids if you have them or flip for it otherwise. Here’s what you need:

• Duct tape- a small roll will do-good to fix all kinds of things
  
• Powerbar- not the kind you eat, the kind you plug into the wall to make more plugins- cruise cabins can be notoriously lacking in this area
  
• Bungee cord- main use: to prop open balcony door, other uses include strapping luggage together for easy transfer
  
• Games/Books/Magazines
  
• Travel maps/guidebooks
  
• Keys for home
  
• Flashlight
  
• Hand sanitizer
  
• Room sanitizer spray
  
• Address book/stamps
  
• Empty collapsible bag for souvenirs
  
• Extra Film/Memory cards
  
• Binoculars
  
• Umbrella
  
• Cell phone charger
  
• Ttravel alarm clock
  
• All the power cords and charging things for all your electronic stuff: camera, cd player or radio
  
• Ziplog bags – quart and giant 2 gallon size- wet swimsuits, toiletries, stuff that can leak
  
• Plastic food wrap- order sandwiches from room service to take to the beach or back home on your return flight
  
• Hair Dryer- there’s one in the cabin but you’ll want your own if you use one
  
• Laundry soap- get tablets like Wisk and put them in a Ziploc bag along with $5 in quarters- you’ll be able to do a quick load when you first get on the ship.
  
• Extra batteries- way less expensive at Wal-Mart than at the ships gift shop
  
• Bar soap from home- especially if you have sensitive skin
  
• First Aid-kit
  • Band-aids/Neosporin
    
  • Alcohol Swabs
    
  • Latex gloves
    
  • Tylenol/Asperin
    
  • Bonine/Seasick Meds
    
  • Tums
    
  • Prescription Meds
