• Since many ships are installing e-mail and internet capabilities, you may wish to bring along a list

of important e-mail addresses and web site URL's. Although this can get expensive, you might find

it worthwhile, particularly if you have important e-mail messages.

• If you really depend on a hair dryer, plan to bring your own. Even if the ship provides them, you

may not find them to be powerful enough to handle your needs, particularly if you have long or

heavy hair.

• A pair of personal communications devices (as kids, we used to call these walkie-talkies) is useful

in keeping track of your traveling companions on the ship. As ships become larger, it becomes

more difficult to keep track of one another. This is a perfect tool for young teenagers (check your

battery supply!). Some ships even offer them for rent during the cruise.

• A few emergency items are useful, particularly the flash light. It's nice to know that you have an

extra light for your room, and it could come in very handy should your ship develop some

temporary generator malfunctions. You’ll also want to take a nightlight if you’re staying in an inside

cabin.

Top 10 Cruise Packing Tips

Camera. Sunscreen. Swimsuit. Okay, now that we've got the basics out of the way, here are a few must-have

cruise items that'll help make your vacation more comfortable, enjoyable and memorable.

1. On the first day...

For the first day of your cruise, pack a small carry-on bag with your travel documents, a change of

clothes,

bathing suit, workout clothes, and any medications you may need. That way you don't have to wait for

your checked bags to arrive in your stateroom.

2. Onboard attire...

Shorts, t-shirts, slacks, trousers, casual skirts, blouses and sundresses are all perfect during the day,

whether indoors or out.
