I'm starting to pack and want to pack light... any advice?? have a great trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin07family Posted June 26, 2007 #3 Share Posted June 26, 2007 laptop? Completely up to you.munchie foods for kids? We didn't find that necessary as there was always food around. monies smaller than $1? (does anything on ship use quarters? I believe you can use quarters in the arcade. I gave my kids cash but they can also use the sign & sail card. How many swimsuits per person? We did 3 each. BTW, my 10 yr old would change into and out of his trunks twice or three times per day and put on new underwear everyday. I should've packed more than one per day. beach towels? We didn't. They give you beach towels but if you're worried that you'll lose it and get charged, just use the bath towels instead. Kids are ages 7 and 9. I'm starting to pack and want to pack light... any advice?? I just couldn't pack light. Don't forget a sweater, sweatsuit, jeans, something WARM as the public rooms are C-O-L-D!!!!!!

Name game Posted June 26, 2007 #5 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I agree with everything except stated above except for bathing suits. It depends on how long of a cruise you are going on. I usually bring three bathing suits for 7 nights or longer. You only need the laptop if you want to use the computer in your cabin, but the ships have a computer room. Regardless of whether you use your own computer or the ship's computers, you still pay the same. Why lug your own computer (unless you are planning on doing work, ugh).

mamamo65 Posted June 26, 2007 #7 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Boxed cereal is available at breakfast, several different types. They are good for taking with you on shore days for the kids. Room service is availble 24/7 with sandwiches, cookies, brownies, hot chocolate, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbean dreams Posted June 26, 2007 #8 Share Posted June 26, 2007 If you really want to pack light, you don't need to bring beach towels, 2 suits, no laptop, no snacks, there is plenty on the ship. If you want to take snacks off the ship, make sure they are prepackages. No fruit or meat is allowed to be brought off the ship at in most ports.

Not really... you can use your laptop to download pictures off your camera. You can also save money on the internet minutes by downloading your email then signing off to read it and reply. Sign back on to send. Also on some ships, internet doesn't work in the cabins, but does work in several public areas, like on the Lido deck.
