jerseygirl79 Posted April 17, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Here's a list I found online. I put it in a Word document and made a few changes. I'm going to email it to my sailing guests. I thought I'd share. It can be edited to add or remove whatever you like. I'm not able to upload it because I'm using XP and when I convert it, it doubles the size. I can email the list if anyone wants it. alysiab@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like Splenda be sure to bring your own as they don’t usually have it on the ships.24oz insulated mugs-- like from StarbucksSugar, milk, cream, etc-- room service or heist from buffet. Useful Items:*Bring singles - pain in the butt to get change from the purser and helps with tipping for the little things along the way (room service etc). *Balcony cabins usually have just chairs and a small table – If you give a tip to your room steward on the first day - ask for a lounge chair (usually they will grab one or two and set you right up*duct tape, freezer bags and clothes pins have TONS of uses.Bring a hanging sweater organizer. (The ones that hook over the closet rail and have several large square compartments.) It was great for the kids to store their clothes and I didn't have to worry about cramming everything into the limited drawer space.*bring a vinyl pillow cover so that I don't have my face in a pillow someone with the norovirus had from the previous voyage.*Travel with a penlight. I've used it during power outages, for a book light, even to look for something in my purse in a dark room or venue. I use a maglight, it's smaller than my pen and gives me just enough light to see without bugging everyone around me.Bring a night light/ alarm clockBring water shoesBug RepellentBring a sweater the dining room can be cold. A pop-up hamper for your dirty clothes (you can get them at the Dollar Tree or 99 cent only stores.)Night light for bathroom (for that unfamiliar path after dark)(Dollar store again - you can get very low light LEDs if you need it dark to sleep)Bring on own bottles of water, and soda and save $$$Bring a reusable cup with lid...less trips to get a drinkBring Duct tapeBring a highlighter-The highlighters are good for highlighting the activities you want to do in the daily newsletter that says all of the things happening each day) detach the days activities instead of carrying the whole daily newsletter.Bring post it note- to leave notes on your door for everyone.Bring an extension cord/power stripBring an over-the-door shoe bag to attach to the bathroom or closet door (or just hang in the closet). We have a cloth one, so it folds up very compactly. This is not just for shoes- we use it to hold all the assorted junk (cameras, sun blocks, water wallets, duct tape, highlighters, etc) that would normally clutter up the cabin.Bring travel hooks to hang stuff in your roomBring a few paper funnels to make filling the water bottle easier.Bring towels from home to avoid fearing losing oneTake a hand towel with you to the beach it will help remove sand and is handy for lots of other things too. Baby powder helps remove sand. If you have clothes that are nearing the end of their useful life, take them, wear them and then throw them away. Think of all the room you will have to take new stuff home.Bring your own washcloths as MSC doesn’t always furnish them.Bring suntan lotion with an SPF 30 or higher as the sun in the Caribbean is very intense.MSC furnishes small sample bottles of Shampoo, Conditioner, body wash and bath soap. If you have a certain type that you use you should bring.Bring a small package of clothes soap to wash out unmentionables since MSC doesn’t have a self serve laundry on board.Bring own toiletries, makeup and etc.Bring soda and water in your checked luggage and a small amount of each in your carry on.If you are bringing Liquor or wine onboard be sure to pack in Ziplocs and put in your CHECKED bags only. For Kids:*Pack each complete outfit (socks, undies, shirt and shorts) in a gallon ziplock. Then you can pull the baggie and give it to the child without having to dig through a million little pieces of clothing.*--The kids club activities MAY be wrong in the kid program. They have been known to have misprints. So double check all events before you leave your child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseygirl79 Posted April 23, 2009 Author #10 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Here's a list I found online. I put it in a Word document and made a few changes. I'm going to email it to my sailing guests. I thought I'd share. It can be edited to add or remove whatever you like. I'm not able to upload it because I'm using XP and when I convert it, it doubles the size. I can email the list if anyone wants it. alysiab@hotmail.com http://cruises.about.com/cs/cruiseplanning/a/packinglist.htm some of you aren't able to open the document. It might be because it's Word 07 on vista. In case, I used the information from this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoCookies Posted April 23, 2009 #11 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I think that list is WAY too long! Who brings their own towels or a personal blender on a cruise? I consider packing light to be far more useful than any single item on a list. You don't want any newbies thinking that they have to bring a ton of stuff, or they won't have a good time.

I consider packing light to be far more useful than any single item on a list. You don't want any newbies thinking that they have to bring a ton of stuff, or they won't have a good time. Personally, I pack a lot. Especially since my cruises have been 8 nights. And I bring my own towels. Usually 2 from home. It's all about personal preference. Like I said, feel free to customize the list to your liking. I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teejayess Posted October 10, 2009 #13 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Wow. You couldn't pack all of that lot if you used the majority of airlines in the UK to meet your cruise. Most only give you 15 or at the most 20 kilos of luggage allowance per person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
