insect repellent -- 5 day double cc

[crw]

I am trying to determine where to draw the line on packing, and would like opinions on whether this falls under necessity or not for a cruise to the Bahamas. I want to minimize unnecessary stuff in luggage, but would rather not be eaten alive... SO, what was your experience with mosquitos and noseums (sand flies) on your cruise?

We've had NO bug issues on most cruises, including CC one month ago.

I usually never have a problem, but the last couple of times I did. On our Nov 2009 and April 2008 cruise. I usually bring some, but I did not. I did go to the little first aid station there and they had some insect repellant wipes. I don't know if they have them all the time. Both times I got bitten all along the back of my legs while waiting for the tram to go to Serenity Bay. I didn't have problems once I got to the beach.
