So last week, we did a thing and snatched up a last minute cruise deal! Last minute travel is not usually a thing for us with a 5 year old and three dogs! As I run through a scrambling scenario to prepare everyone, I thought it was an opportune time to make a list of all the things we pack for a cruise. It gives me a chance to make sure I’ve packed “all the things” and gives you guys a chance to double check your own packing list!
So here it is:
- Travel documents folder (boarding passes, passports, any pre-purchased item recceipts, copy of the intinerary, excursion documents, etc)
- Sunscreen
- Hat
- Bug wipes (we like the YoungLiving insect repellent wipes because they’re safe for our kiddo, our dogs and us and super effective)
- 1 dressy outfit
- 4 pairs of shorts
- 8 shirts (one for the day, and a nicer evening shirt)
- 1 pair of slacks/nice jeans
- lightweight jacket or sweater
- 2 swim suits (one drying, while the other is worn)
- 1 pair dressy shoes, 1 pair super comfy water shoes, 1 pair casual sandals/flip flops
- Underwear
- Toothpaste
- Deodorant
- Tooth brushes
- Shampoo/Conditioner
- Styling products
- GoPro and Eagle 4k (in case with two batteries, wind screens, filters, and activity mounts)
- Towel Clips
- Power station (non-surge protector)
- Hotel key card for the room power
- Snorkel gear
- Clothes Pins (for hanging wet stuff in the shower)
- Lanyard
- Cruise purse (I like a small cross body wallet style for keeping the necessities with me while we roam the ship)
Sounds like a ton of stuff huh? Keep watching us and I’ll show you how it all goes in a carry-on each next week!
