PinkSand26 Posted November 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Is there anything I need to actually carry on with me on the ship versus keep in my luggage? (Other than travel docs and meds.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyloRen Posted November 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Some people also pack bathing suits. My kids love getting in the pool the second we get on board as it can be almost 4 hours before youll get your room depending upon what time you get on board 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkSand26 Posted November 13, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Good call. Also, can you pack the wine you bring or do you have to carry it on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wine must be in your carryon. I would also carry on all electronics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the rooms were ready at 1:30pm? YIKES that is quite the wait. Also if you are bringing on any soda you must carry it on.

Mic101680 Posted November 13, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 13, 2022 If you plan on changing for dinner and have an early seating, I would bring a change of clothes. I one had luggage not show up until 20 minutes before dinner! Otherwise I think everyone else pretty much has it covered 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvetwater Posted November 13, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Spare underwear in case of luggage loss A few outfit basics that will go with clothing bought in port in case too (long black jersey skirt, leggings, floaty mini dress, socks, tee to sleep in) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgttami Posted November 13, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I cruise with just a carry on so everything I need is with me at all times. So much easier. Haven't checked luggage on a cruise in about 20 years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mz-s Posted November 13, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 13, 2022 The only thing in my checked luggage is clothing. Absolutely nothing else. Not even a phone charger. Just clothes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I travel solo so couldn't provide TIPS for traveling with that many people. LOL Great ship and easy to navigate and have met a lot of nice people. It's not the bells and whistles of the huge ships but there was always something to do and I was never bored. The young kids I met always seemed to be having fun! Enjoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. maybe I should have used the word required … sounds like wine for one is something that has to go in your carry on. Just wondering if anything else. Thanks!

mz-s Posted November 14, 2022 #15 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Wine and sodas must be in your carry on luggage. Anything that might be questionable - I'm thinking electrical things like drop cords or fans - should be in carry on luggage as well. Pretty much everything else - including even your medications if you insist - can be in your checked bags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrwnEyedGirl35 Posted November 14, 2022 #16 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Any medications, a swimsuit and it least a change of clothes. Just in case your luggage doesn't make it in time or God forbid, gets dumped in the ocean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted November 14, 2022 #17 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) I think everyone else pretty much nailed it. We bring one carryon onboard, everything else gets checked. What we bring onboard has our meds, any beverages we are bringing, electronics, documentation and a change of clothes. We aren't worried about changing for dinner, since the dress code on the first night is very lax. We've been on Pride several times and had a great time. I would go to the kids club to register as soon as you are onboard, then head to the buffet for a bite (if you board early enough lunch might be served in the MDR but you would have to ask). As mentioned the Pride is easy to navigate and there is always plenty to do. (There is a link in my signature to my last Pride review from when we cruised in 2018.)

farjar Posted November 14, 2022 #18 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) We both do a carry on and a back pack when flying to a cruise so there is no lost luggage at the airport. Once we get to the cruise terminal we attach our room tags to the carry ons, take a picture of them (for easy identification if lost) and check them so we only have to manage our backpacks until the cabins are available. Our backpacks contain our necessities and a change of clothes. When we debark we carry everything off with us and are on our way.

asalligo Posted November 14, 2022 #20 Share Posted November 14, 2022 We learned the hard way to always pack at least an outfit and the essentials when our luggage did not make it to our room until late the 2nd day. Apparently, someone thought it was theirs and grabbed it. Other than that scenario and cokes if you want them, then, not really. You could check everything. We just take one backpack carryon with essentials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eli_6 Posted November 14, 2022 #21 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Your sodas and alcohol. If you pack it, your luggage will be confiscated and you will then have to go down to some holding area on the ship to retrieve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak89 Posted November 14, 2022 #22 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I carry on one change of clothes, my electronic items, wine/sodas and any medications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
