Cruise Packing List #travel

This is my Cruise Packing List that I used for my past Caribbean cruises. I hope it helps you plan your wonderful cruise vacation!

NOTE; If you're cruising in colder climates, then pack warmer clothes than those on this list. 

TIP: (roll clothes instead of folding them to keep them from wrinkling as much)

• electronics (ex ipod, phone, laptop) and chargers (can pay for onboard wifi) (set phone to airplane mode for entire cruise to avoid outrageous charges)
• camera and charger
• sunscreen and aloe in case of burn
• dramamine
• advil
• bandaids
• q-tips
• shampoo, conditioner
• deodorant
• roll on perfume or creme perfume
• soap or shower gel
• lotion
• Rx meds in original containers
• sunglasses
• hair ties and clips (can be very windy)
• hat or cap or visor
• big purse or tote bag for excursions (label with name and address on and in)
• small wristlet purse
• cash and credit cards (call your credit card companies before you leave and tell them you're traveling internationally)
• ziploc bags (for wet swimsuits on the way home)
• lip balm
• id holder and lanyard (for your cruise pass/key)
• waterproof phone holder (for excursions)
• travel docs and passport
• phone numbers (on paper) to the US embassies in the countries you'll be visiting, just in case (take on excursions)
• razor
• toothpaste, toothbrush, floss
• glasses/reading glasses
• shorts (one per day)

• sundress
• one dressy outfit for formal night (including nice shoes)
• 2 swimsuits

• bras
• socks
• 1 lightweight jacket
• jewelry
• watch (phone may or may not work and time zones are screwy on smartphones)
• COMFY shoes: (sandals or flip flops, water shoes, and closed toe shoes for walking) - Cruise ships are HUGE. You will do TONS of walking. Also, check the cruise itinerary for special events like "White Night Party" where everyone wears all white.
