AZPam Posted February 22, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I found this packing list that someone else posted and thought they have a lot of great ideas, but it's kind of long! Not sure I would take everything! Cruise Packing List: Aloe Vera – for your sunburn Antacids – for your indigestion Antiseptic Swabs Aspirin – for your headache Band-Aids Benadryl Pills – for your food allergies Benadryl Gel – for your skin rashes from snorkeling, etc. Claritin or other Allergy med – for your sinuses Cold Medicine Dramamine – because you’re on a boat Feminine Products – timing is everything First aid kit (small) – band aids, etc. Hair spray – for those men and women worried about how their hair looks Hand sanitizer – for the germs! Ibuprofen – for the aches and pains Imodium AD – to stop those fast sprints to the bathroom Insect repellent – in case of biting buggies at the ports of call Laxatives – just in case you want to have a fast sprint to the bathroom Moisturizer – to help with that dry skin Neosporin – to help with blisters and any other cuts, scraps, etc. Prescription Meds medications for 14 days – your dailies, plus extras for contingencies Shampoo & Conditioner – so you can wash your hair, but the ship does provide some Sunscreen – so you don’t burn yourself up on the shore excursions or on the ship Solarcain – to make you feel better when you do burn yourself from the sun Tylenol – to help with pain, fevers, whatever Vitamins– to ensure you stay healthy Visine Address Book & Stamps – so you can send postcards to all who were left home Air fresheners or plug-ins – to keep your room/bathroom smelling fresh Alarm Clock – so you don’t have to keep looking at your watch for the time Batteries – because they are really expensive in port and on the ship Beach Bag – to carry your beach stuff in Binoculars – to look at all the pretties Bungee cords – to help keep your balcony doors open (most are self closing) Cameras – for the memories Carry-on Bag – because you have to give up your luggage the night before you disembark. Chargers – Phone, camera, walkie-talkie, and whatever other electronic goodies you bring. Clothes pins – to hang up your wet bathing suits, keep that gap in your curtains closed, etc. Collapsible umbrella – because it might rain Copies of Travel Documents/ Passports – keep them in your room safe in case you lose yours. Dollar bills - for tips to room service, sky cap, luggage handlers, on-board laundry facilities, etc. Duffle bag – to be packed inside suitcase coming and used for all the treasures returning Duct tape – because you can fix anything with it and all the seasoned cruisers said bring it. Eyeglasses/Sunglasses and a back-up pair – to see and to see Eyeglass Cleaners Extension cord – you never know where the outlets are in you room Flashlight (small) OR Nightlight – because its dark at night and you may need it. Highlighters – to highlight activities your interested in on the Princess Patter (daily activity sheet) Hair Dryer (travel size) – because the one in your room isn’t all that great. Instant Coffee – because Princess coffee is so bad Kleenex, small packages – to blow your running nose, to use as emergency TP Lint Brush/Roller – to remove those nasty little clingy things. Luggage strap – to help keep your luggage closed and to help ID it Lysol - germs, smells, or being in an elevator with old people after dinner Moist toweletes – to wash your hands when no water is available Nail clippers/file – to trim your nails. Plastic bags/Ziploc bags – to help keep things dry, for storage, take sandwich into port Power Strip – you never know if you’ll have enough power outlets in your room Safety Pins – to hold things together when they tear apart Sewing kit – for clothes repairs Snorkel mask (prescription if you have) – so you don’t have to worry about renting one Suction Cup hangers – to help hang things up in your room Superglue – To fix things, repair nails, shut someone’s mouth, etc. Toothpics – Cause they normally don’t have them. Tweezers – for splinters, eyebrows, etc. Walkie-Talkies – to help keep in touch on the ship and on the shore Water bottles – because you don’t want to drink the water at the ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinbuddy Posted February 22, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Well I've got a list but it's not alphbetized, so I don't think I should post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffie Posted February 22, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I have a list that I would be glad to e-mail to you. There is one on cruise diva dot com, and Calgon has a list. Do a search for his. You must remember, though, that those 2 lists are VERY comprehensive, and you will need to adjust them for yourself. Have fun planning!
