We cruise next week and I keep hearing about the travel documents. I feel like I'm missing some. I only have a page that has the PAT and our signatures. What other documents do I need?
Good one!Kevin!
I seem to always forget the bank, until a day or two in to the trip.Thanks everyone! You have reassured me that I have everything I need to board and if I forget some little thing no-biggie. Calling the bank was a good tip also I would have completely forgotten to do that. Can't wait till Tuesday!!
If these are forgotten, keep in mind they have them at the port where you can fill them out. So no big deal.And luggage tags.
What, you aren't like "Lovie" Howell aka Mrs. Thurston J. Howell III who packed an extensive wardrobe for "a three-hour tour?"
Call credit card companies to let them know you will be out town/ out of country so they know and don't deny any charges.
This is the 'Cruise Pack List' that I started using when DD was little, because I was afraid that I'd forget something important...not everything on here is essential, nor do I bring all of this every time. Just cross off what's packed or not needed. (Clothing is not on here...that's a different list.)

And disable your FB page from taking comments. You don't want someone writing, "Have a great cruise! See you in two weeks!" If they do, anyone who sees their comment will know your house is vacant and you couldn't get back anyway.
Unless you want to bring back a little extra something from the cruise, don't forget protection.

Enjoy your cruise!

If you aren't flying does it matter how many bags of luggage you have? Do they check them etc?
