I'm also a first timer nOOb, but here are a few things I've

gathered searching the net and on these boards. Stuff

I usually dont think of, that I've found.

 

1) take a night light for the bathroom

2) take a power strip/extension cord cause you may only get one

electrical plug - what if you have multiple devices that need

charging?

3) seasickness - ginger root tablets, sea bands, bonine

4) dont trust the safe, take a money belt

5) take a travel battery alarm clock, usually the cabin has none

6) extra ZIP lock baggies, for small treasures you buy

7) take a prepaid mastercard or something like it, instead of your regular cards

cause they may lock them with a fee

8) call your credit card company and tell them your going to such n' such

so they dont put a hold on your cards, thinking its theft

Also...

9) take a small travel umbrella

10) take a raincoat

11) take a cheapie stringed napsack you put on your back, Amazon has them for 3 to 10 buks

for shore excursion booty

12) Passport holders you can put around your neck with a laynard

OK, we're down to a few weeks before our first-ever cruise (2 adults, 2 kids 10 and 7), and we're starting to think about packing. So my question - what are the things that first-time cruisers would never think to bring, and that I'll be kicking myself about all week? Not the obvious - wine opener, passport, etc. - looking for stuff I'd NEVER think of.

 

Thanks in advance - and I will compile a Top 10 list and post it (based on my own assessment, of course...) if I get enough responses (and then we can argue about my rankings).

I remember only one outlet by the TV with two plugs.

 

We have traveled for years with a power strip with a 3 foot cord, we then plug all of our devices in there so we don't forget one as we have left camera chargers at our resorts before! Since traveling with the power cord we have not left anything behind!

Power strip on my list, thanks ALL!!

We're sailing the Pearl next week. I can let you know when we return

TY appreciated much!

I have a CPAP and can't remember how I plugged mine in the last time.

 

 

Can't remember where the outlet is. That is going to be one LONNNNNNNNG extension cord I have a feeling LOL

Wife also has a CPAP she needs too!

Is is one outlet in the cabin with two plugs,

or just one plug in the outlet?

So were having a cruise at the end of May coming up

on the Norwegian Pearl to Alaska. I'm bringing several devices

that need charging, plus the wife will have an electric

scouter.

Were on deck 9, balcony room.

We will be bringing extension cords.

So how many outlets do we have to work with?
