Cruise Preperation??

[chasbos]

OK I know that there are packing lists in the Passporter but I would like some ideas from those who have a prepacked a couple of months in advance.

We travel in 59 days - cruise is in 61!

There are 6 of us and we are driving from Ontario, Canada.

We will be on the road and staying at the Radisson 3 days before our cruise and then taking 4 days to get back home.

I have read that soem of you have cruise boxes that you throw things into months before you cruise. So now I want to know - what do you put in your cruise box?

Being that it is close to Christmas and I will be out shopping alot! I would like some advice as to things I should be looking for to pick up.

This is our first cruise, but we travel a lot and I overpack everywhere we go! So please - give me some advice on the must haves and maybe we can pack sensibly for the first time ever!

Lots and lots of sunscreen!
Aloe Vera Gel
Sea sickness medicine
cute Disney shirts I get on sale/clearance
flip flops/beach shoes
over the door shoe holder
A special bath and body works selection (I pick out a new "flavor" for each trip, then stash it until we are on the ship. Once we're home, the smell brings back the cruise memories)!

I'm sure there's lots more, but that's a start anyway.

Put anything in your box that you either bought just for the cruise, or that you will be using for the cruise but don't need until them (such as, your summer clothes!).

Remember, film, disposable cameras (great for the kids to use). Disney pins and autograph books if you are bringing them.

Happy planning, and have a great cruise!!!

Label all your disposable cameras with your address and stateroom --- we lost one on Castaway Cay --- I think someone probably just picked it up thinking it was theirs.

Extension cord --- the big plugs on blow dryers, etc. will not fit in the plug because of the tight space.

Night Light - if you have an inside stateroom and travel clock.
