I would not recommend writing your CC numbers down on your computer if you're bringing it with you just in case you lose your laptop. Keeping their numbers on your laptop should be fine, and they should be able to look up your account based on your ss#.

We all have different priorities when it comes to packing and what

we want/need/ to bring.

I do not bring many of the items on your list and have never missed

them.

I don't wear perfume so that is never on my list.

I don't bring a sewing kit

I don't bring room freshners

I don't bring a plastic water bottle

I don't bring extra name tags

I don't bring night lights or ear plugs

I don't bring laundry detergent

I don't bring glue

I don't bring an army knife:eek:

I don't bring a shoe horn

 

Those are just few items that are not important to me.....there

are other items on your list I don't pack either.

 

Different strokes for different folks:)

[o2bonn]

The best suggestion I ever saw was to bring a new sealed (therefore compact) plastic over-the-door shoe bag. You hang it inside your closet door, giving you and spouse tons of pockects for belts, ties, shoes, socks etc. At the end you give it to your cabin attendant who thinks this is the greatest thing ever.

[Blue Skies]

I think this is a great idea especially on Solstice class ships where shelve space is at a premium but are the wardrobe doors sliding? :eek:

Where then to hang?

[shofer]

Passports!

 

You can get a shoehorn from your cabin steward.

Hawaii is still in the USA.;)

[ghstudio]

magnets to hold paper notices/announcements to the wall of your cabin.

[jelayne]

Cotton balls in cabin

Can get playing cards from guest relations

Get corkscrew from cabin steward.

 

You may need that extra cash for overweight luggage if you are flying to your cruise:)

[MoreTime2Travel]

I would check with Celebrity to see if you must have a passport if your cruise makes a stop in Mexico. You will be out of the country.

[jenniebnyc]

What do you do with Hefty bags?

[CHEZMARYLOU]

We don't bring half of the stuff on this list. Leaves more room for my shoes. :D

Someone mentioned recently that no playing cards were available on their ship. Several people asked. Maybe another cost savings idea since playing cards could break the bank;)

They must be for the kitchen sink! :D:D:D

Hi Mary Lou:)...I only listed a few things but there are quite a few

other items I don't bring either. And it is not to give me room for

extra shoes either:D

There are things I don't bring because...well, I don't need or want

them;)

[neverbeenhere]

forgot the prepackaged foods.(energy bars...) We might have missed them as we fell asleep half way through the list.

[neverbeenhere]

Anyway, Thong and Thongs and you are packed.

[HappyTvlr]

Awesome! I would add eyemask for sleeping unless you are in an inside cabin, and we always take a vacuum wine saver if we are taking wine for the rare occasions we don't finish the bottle or just want a little white and a little red. I am just having a laugh that I pack most of what you pack and still have room for six or so pairs of shoes. Thank God for Samsonite Ultralite luggage!

[VegasCrossfire]

Hi I just want to make sure I got everything. I am packing very soon...

 

wife said she will handle this?

Sorry ---- I got sidetracked by your beeee-oo-tiful twin cars in your signature:D (Notice my forum name):D

 

I didn't mean to hijack this thread.....just had to jump in!

[Karen@Steve]

Since you're going to Hawaii you need a Hawaiian Shirt and Slippahs (aka flip flops)! Absolutely required in the islands. BTW...Hawaii has all the same things you can buy here so if you decide to lighten the load you can pick anything you need in the islands.

[GreatLakes]

Anyway, Thong and Thongs and you are packed.

 

 

I got lost somewhere in the middle of what to pack. When we cruised Hawaii, we didn't take half of what was mentioned here; but we did take a t-shirt with SPF in it which we wore when we were snorkeling. We also took our own snorkel mask and water shoes and a cheap mesh bag to carry them in and we snorkeled right off the beach on several islands. Also took a beach cover-up (Lands End terry capri pants and hooded shirt) so when we finished our own snorkel excursion, we could stroll through the downtown area before catching the public bus back to the ship. Laundry detergent?? Woolite sells little packets that are the size of towlettes. Clothespins?? We have a portable clothesline with suction cups for the shower and you don't need clothespins.

[phdiva]

Just cross-walked your list, plus everyone else's suggestions, with my list. Looks like you still "need" to add a few items.

 

hangers

bandaids

ear drops (for swimmers ear)

dental adhesive (for crown emergencies)

eye drops

ace bandage

pens, highlighters, and sticky notes

cortisone cream

aloe lotion (in case of sunburn)

pedometer and charger

weightlifting gloves

chapstick

travel mug for coffee

 

(And yes, folks, it takes all kinds to make the world go 'round)

[FLJudi]

magnets to hold paper notices/announcements to the wall of your cabin.

 

Magnets with hooks too. I take bathrobes out of closet (to make extra room) and hang on wall. Use to hang lanyards, pocketbooks, hats, bathing suits.

[bighairtexan]

For whomever posted hangers, the steward will bring you as many as you need.

[Project_gal]

You specifically mentioned keeping meds and change of clothes in your carry-on but you really ought to keep all your electrical items in your carry-on luggage. It reduces the chances of security staff needing to open your checked luggage. Some electrical items [such as laptop/tablet] may also attract theft if in your checked luggage.
