Probably not us because there's no-one here during the day if they need signing for.

I'm staying in till it arrives!!

What do you take? I'm thinking:

Underwater & regular camera
Suntan lotion
Sunglasses
magazine (wishful thinking!)
Sand toys
Snorkeling stuff - which reminds me I have to find the boys snorkeling stuff...or should I just rent???
Life jackets for younger ones
water

Not sure if I should bring a change of clothes when we go to the other ports to change into after hitting the beaches....

Add hats to your list.

 

[calmom]

bags - actually I have a list of stuff to take in bags...last time, I forgot sunscreen and John was not to happy running back to the ship.

That was like my dream last night! I was all stressed in my dream. Geez, is that OCD or what!

When I unpack that 1st day I pack our beach bag with all that is needed and then I have it ready for everyday use.

Great idea.

are you using your DCL number and your zip?
That's what I did.

Yep. Oh well. It will come soon enough, or if it doesn't I still can get on the ship right!

Very quietly taken woody!!!

Yes, thanks for noticing it was post No. 2,000.

Good one! I just put my favorite baseball hat for me on the packing table. I got the kids matching pirate hats -

I booked through DUL but I can still access it on the UPS website. I didn't put in a zip code at all, just the reference number and country, and it came up.

I booked through DU too . . . no dice. Nothing coming up. Either I am doing something wrong, or maybe we aren't going after all . . .

John,
Can you take a few days off of work to make sure you are all healthy for the cruise? I know you have a very big job so might not be possible...I'd just hate for you to be exhausted when we start...

. . . We had the $47 pizza too. It didn't taste any better than a $37 pizza.

That's too funny!

hats, wipes for the hands, water bottle, cover ups for the sun, audio book, brush (we have girl hair, your boy group may not need this), lip balm!!!!!!!

I also have a bunch of little Carabiner Hooks on my bag to hook extra stuff to the bag. For example a mini flashlight for the movies, hook your lanyard to it when you are in the water because your KTTW card will be inside your badge holder. You can also hook lip balm to it if you have a lip balm holder.

Thanks. I am so looking forward to the trip. It should be a blast. How will I find other dis-ers on the ship? I think out of the loop is an understatement for me.

 

[gaylean93]

I remember you two as I remember your names as you both were on Med Cruise last year with british Andrew and Helen.

I did reading your forum last year.

Scottishwee35

That wasn't us. This will be our first cruise!

 

[woody73]

I prefer to not be too weighed down when I go to Castaway Cay or the ports. So I try to take minimal baggage, so this is what I typically take:

Ian, I see you got your packing tips from Thurston Howell III. LOL!

We will all be wearing custom made lime green lanyards. And probably the loudest group on board!

 

[gaylean93]

Gaylean your kids are so cute! All the kids are cute!

Loved seeing the pixs, but sure wish I had a lanyard!

I have mine and have no idea what to do with it. OK in the suitcase it goes!

Welcome!
you need to post 6 more times anything at all - just tell us about yourself and your party. Then you will be able to send a PM (private message.)

I will send you a PM to get information about your family to make you a lanyards. We will all have green lanyards with our names on them. They are free as a large group of us paid for them for everyone.

Fell off my chair laughing at this one.

I agree!

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Mine left on the 18th and is in Jacksonville. Didn't make it very far!

Same for me.....left on the 18th and is still in Jacksonville. I'll have it on the 23rd.

 

[gaylean93]

Our son, Cameron (10) will also be dressing up for pirate night. You may have seen/met him at the DIS meet.

Joseph

I was worried because Ryan and Ethan got a long really well even though Ryan is almost two years older. It's good to know that other kids will be dressed up.

 

[fourmcds]

Thankyou so much for the info!! We are in the throes of packing right now, and will have to adjust what I thought we needed!!

PM me if you want more info on weather. Today it looks beautiful out there but cold. high 50s and party sunny in seattle is pretty nice weather so a good windbreaker could be enough. Sorry our weather isn't cooperating with you for your visit.
