Just for Fun ......

I probably pack our swimsuits first. One in the carry one and one in the suitcase. Need to make sure I can at least relax by the pool if my luggage was lost. Then I probably make sure all documentation is in order and then any charges for cameras/phones.

Since this thread started, has anyone thought of other things to bring or that you realized you wished you had brought something?

[skatermegs]

My camera and its assorted parts, then my swimsuit. I usually start packing almost a month out from the trip! :)

Things I'd wished I brought? I can't actually think of any! But then, I'm definitely one of the binder/packing list planners, so I'm pretty thorough.

I've got to agree with Megan. I, too, am a binder/packing list planner kinda girl. I always type our itinerary, breaking days/nights down and writing in what I plan on wearing. So, to answer your question, I would have to say the first thing I get organized are my lists. I have to confess that I've already got mine started for our December cruise. I think I have some type of Cruise Loving disorder....cause I'm obsessed!! HELP ME :D

I always bring highlighters so we can mark what we want to do on the Cruise Compasses each night.

Camera and small flashlight.

Dresses & bathing suits. I also go to the bank to pick up all the small bills that we use for extra tipping.

For me it is a few good books, depending on length of cruise. Quickly followed by cruise clothes. IF the price is right I can be packed in 20 minutes flat!!

Hammock for the balcony.

My :DAsh flowboard:D.

 

Hopefully, RCCL will let me use it.:confused:

[shutterbug63]

Flip flops, bathing suits, and shorts. We usually cruise in March when it's usually still chilly here, so those are things we aren't usually using at the time.

 

LAST to go in are usually chargers & electronics.

Wow, a hammock for the balcony?! What a fantastic idea. Do you have a picture?

[Paulette3028]

In our spare bedroom, ready to go on a moments notice, is the toiletry bag, always filled with all the necessary OTC items, along with extra meds we always take with us. A suitcase is right next to it....and nearby are the things that we only use on a cruise -- special flipflops. Then it amounts to getting a suitcase and in goes the bathing suits and coverups, shorts and tops....everything else is easy.

 

We can be packed in 10 minutes!

[Teach2pre]

We are packing now. Leaving for Allure on Friday! I packed dresses first. All planned out for each evening ;)

If you have a disorder I must be in really bad shape-because I am doing the same for June! :p

Ha! Loved this, but had the thought that support groups really need someone in them who has gained freedom from the addiction to be an inspiration to the others. I doubt we'd find anyone who qualified on Cruise Critic! :-) And, yes, I start packing and preparing months in advance. I'm from Canada and when I put away my summer clothes for the winter, I pack them directly into a suitcase, ready to pull out in cold January for the cruise.
