  1. everything


  2. pack a warm ourfit incase it does get cold and just shorts and tanktops it's really warm or depending on where you go dress appealing to the weather

  3. you pack the very important things that you have for your trip may be thats all

  4. pack LIGHTLY - take LESS than you think you'll need.  check out http://www.yourcruiseagents.com/site/Pac...  to see if there is something you might have forgotten

  5. Mmmm Dunno. But I think you should bring like a nice outfit because they usually have like a big dinner thing. Mine did.

  6. It depends on where your going.

  7. I'm going on a cruise in 10 days. i am taking casual clothes for comfort. you need to take a dressy outfit to eat in the main dining hall or you can't eat in there. you do have a lot of places to eat all over the ship though. i will be eating in the other places that offer buffets. I'm not a picky or fancy eater. good luck and have fun.

  8. an outfit for each night's dinner.  Pack a special outfit for Captain's Night.  stuff that you can wear over a bathing suit when you are sightseeing is good, that way you can head to the beach... by the way a beach bag and sunglasses... 2 bathing suits are enough.  If it's your 1st cruise ask your dr. for anti seasick patches.  you never know if you are going to get motion sickness, and it could ruin your cruise.  The patches work great.  Dont bother bringing towels or a hairdryer.

  9. Speak to an american consulate and/or those adept at travel for the best advice...my advice is to prepare for the absolutely worst case scenario, that way...God forbide the worst should arrive, then you'll be o.k.! good luck!

  10. alone or someone ..ask other for better answer if u going with another one or more....alone i think where have more fun or interst to u is more important..

  11. Here's my recommendations based on the almost 20 cruises I have been on, including all over the Caribbean.

    The dress on ship is casual all day until 6:00PM. So take swim wear, shorts, sandals, beach shoes, your snorkel equipment if you have it, sun glasses and sun screen, lotions, a cap or big hat for the sun, a book if you are a reader, your music player, sneakers and clothes to workout in if you like to use the gym, good walking shoes, your camera, and other personal toiletries.

    Your cabin will have towels and soap provided, including pool and beach towels. It will also have a generic hair shampoo so you do not need to bring that unless you like a specific brand. They do not provide tooth paste, mouth wash or lotions. They DO provide a hair dryer.

    After 6:00 PM they request that you wear "sports or resort casual" attire. That's attire that you would expect a person to wear in a business office, (like a bank employee), shirt with a collar, slacks, skirt, blouse, etc. You can still wear shorts and swim wear in the pools and spas but not in public areas like dining rooms and restaurants, show rooms, bars, casino, etc.

    Most cruises have a formal night or two when you can wear your best stuff and get pictures taken, and maybe meet the ship’s Captain. The formal nights are REQUESTED not required attire. But most people do dress up in a tux for men and a long dress (any color) for women.  Some men just wear a suit and tie and some women wear a nice dress but not a gown. You will not be denied access to the dining room or anything else if you choose not to dress up.

    - Its best to pack using soft-sided luggage because with space limited in your cabin it fits under the beds better if its not hard sided luggage. Take a small carry-on bag for the last night of the cruise. On the last evening you will be required to put your luggage outside your cabin by about 2:00 AM so that they can start taking it down to the lower deck for offloading the next morning. So you will need a small bag for your toiletries and your clothes that you sleep in.

    -Since you are going during the winter, take a light jacket or warmup suit for those days when you will be on deck and it may be breezy.

    SOME MORE TIPS:

    - Join the cruise club so that the cruise line will send you their specials and so that you can get discounts on future cruises with them. The discount will typically be $50 to $100 per person.

    - Cruise lines charge a lot (about $15 to $25 per photo) for the photos they take so take your own photos around the ship when you get the chance, especially on the formal nights. Take your own camera and ask other passengers to take photos for you, they generally are very willing.

    - If you can take a six-pack of bottled water and soft drinks in your carry-on for your cabin. You will have to pay for both on the ship and its nice to have those handy in the cabin.

    - If you are taking your cell phone, MP3 player or other item that needs to be plugged in take an extension cord as the plugs in the cabin are generally not in the best places and there are usually only one or two.

    - Take a small bottle of hand sanitizer. There are generally sanitizer dispensers at the entrances of restaurants, the buffets and dining room, but some times the are not there or not working. The sanitizer helps prevent the spread of the Norwalk Virus that sometimes occur on cruise ships.

  12. bring a hat, sun tan lotion, bug spray, 21 pairs of clothes or more, glasses, something to entertain you like a psp, ipod, etc, phone, laptop, safety stuff, and try to be aware that maybe the ship will go down and you'll have to swim to a desserted island. lol

  13. sun tan lotion, anti nausea medicine, some pretty dresses and good shoes! You should  be set!

  14. pack your husband, but leave your worries at home  :P

  15. I dunno, never been , but would love to!
