atate75 Posted May 7, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 7, 2014 We are at the finishing stages of packing and getting ready for our trip on the Dream this Sunday. I think I have everything ready to go. Are there any last minute things that I might have forgotten? Clothes packed, first aid kit, sunscreen, boarding passes, luggage tags, camera, memory cards, chargers, power strip, binoculars, CASH, passports, id and credit cards, carry on with wine and sodas and GPS loaded with coordinates to the port. I'm sure I left some things out but do you guys see anything that I might have missed? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehpride Posted May 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Glasses? Contacts? Prescriptions? That's the only thing I can think of and you may not need them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcruiser Posted May 7, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Sounds like you have everything covered, as whats listed would be on my list also. Enjoy your cruise!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
092306 Posted May 7, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I think you do have it all covered and I'm impressed that you are already packed by today! I hope to be that far ahead and organized for my upcoming cruise. Hope you have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted May 7, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) I am amazed that people even think about packing this early. I leave Sunday and will pack Sunday morning before my noon flight. To answer OP's question IMO you have too much stuff especially the first aid kit, and the binoculars, I assume that the GPS lis in your car and not going on the ship.

The GPS is in the car and the binoculars are in my carry on for watching the port runners. As for the first aid kit, it was put together by my RN wife who will not travel without it. It is a small pack with Tylenol etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, got the pop up laundry basket and over the door shoe rack. I don't have water bottles packed but I do have our Tervis tumblers. Sunglasses? Gottem.

cruising_diva Posted May 7, 2014 #15 Share Posted May 7, 2014 You may want to put some clothes in your carry on - in case your luggage arrives late to your cabin. You don't want to miss dinner because of not having the proper clothes. Also, bungie cord if you have a balcony. Aloe vera gel just in CASE you accidentally get burned despite your sunscreen. I had to purchase it on the ship once, and it was $16!!! Have a blast!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisneyDreamn Posted May 7, 2014 #18 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I always take some duct tape comes in handy sometimes. Was just on the Dream the week of 4/27. We had a wonderful time you will really enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maureencruiser Posted May 7, 2014 #19 Share Posted May 7, 2014 the binoculars are in my carry on for watching the port runners. Trust me, there are much better uses for your binoculars than laughing at other people's misfortune as they watch their vacation go up in flames as they miss the ship. Imagine if it was you and people were laughing. Please use your binoculars to look for dolphins, beautiful scenery, animals, birds, etc. As far as packing, I keep a separate list for things I have to use the morning I leave and then pack them away, like my eyeglasses case, cleaning cloth, toothbrush/paste, razor, meds, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klcypher1 Posted May 7, 2014 #20 Share Posted May 7, 2014 If your bringing wine make sure to bring a corkscrew so you don't pay the corking fee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisin_baker Posted May 7, 2014 #22 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I always take some large size ziplock bags in case I have a wet or damp bathing suit and/or cover-up to pack on my way home.

Grannycb Posted May 7, 2014 #24 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Something I don't see mentioned is a list of medications, doctors names and phone numbers, family names and phone numbers, photocopies of your insurance cards (car, home and health), photocopies of your passports, and contact numbers for credit cards you will be taking. You probably won't need any of that info but it becomes invaluable if the unexpected happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatormama Posted May 7, 2014 #25 Share Posted May 7, 2014 If the binoculars are only for the port runners, you can see them from a balcony without having to be all up in anyone's business. Also, did you say you were bringing tumblers? I like to have my own cup for water when I am by the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
