amydresh Posted August 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2016 What do you all put in your carry on bags? We are driving to the port so we don't really *need* a carry on. I would like to put a packing cube with extra clothes, swim suit, underwear, etc in case our luggage gets lost, but other than that, what else would we need to put in one?

Rosefloater Posted August 23, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) If it's a 7 day or less cruise, Everything. I only take a 22" suitcase and pack a tote for extra stuff when leaving.:D If it is a longer cruise, all electronics, toiletry bag, medicines, and change of clothes.

riffatsea Posted August 23, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 23, 2016 We only take carryon so everything goes into either our rolling bag or our backpack/tote. I have not checked luggage on a plane or a ship for the last 10 years or so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakyBeef Posted August 23, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2016 In my carry-on: jewelry and valuables documents small assortment of clothing, including swimsuit, undergarments, casual, and dressy day and evening wear, in case the unthinkable happens and I never see my checked luggage again my 3 favourite pairs of shoes, for the same reason as above 1 750ml bottle of pinot noir corkscrew med kit (my custom travel pharmacy with all kinds of just-in-case as well as most-likely needed medications and remedies) toiletry bag scissors Individually wrapped Germ-X alcohol wipes shoved into each little spare space Clorox wipes Bed bug check travel size (tiny) can of Lysol spray (these last items so that I can check and do a little sanitizing in the cabin as soon as I board, before the rest of my luggage arrives) and probably several other things I can't remember right now:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted August 23, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Any and all valuables should be in your possession at all times. Never pack anything that you absolutely MUST have in check luggage! I wear my bathing suit under my clothes so I can hit the pool when we board....don't have to find somewhere to "change"...I can just shed the outer layer!

Krazy Kruizers Posted August 23, 2016 #10 Share Posted August 23, 2016 All prescribed medications in their original bottles, camera, over the counter medications, some snacks in case the ship is going through an inspection or being cleaned down to Noro and we can't get on for a while. Also a small case with copies of all cruise information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise_Christy Posted August 24, 2016 #15 Share Posted August 24, 2016 As I drive to port I just put swimsuit, nightwear for that night in case the case is delayed although this has never happened, any super important medication and my iPad, camera and laptop. If I had any valuable jewelry I would take it with me but I only take fashion jewelry of low value on cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascin8ed Posted August 25, 2016 #20 Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Basically anything that you feel that you feel that you must have before your bags are delivered to your stateroom. Camera gear and so on would qualify. Anything that you are able to do without for a few hours should be checked. This is much like boarding an aircraft without as many restrictions that the airlines and the US Government might impose.
