momofzeke Posted October 23, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 23, 2006 If you do a search for "packing list", you will come up with tons of threads with lists as long as your arm! :D My advice: don't overpack! I tried to take all that stuff on the packing lists my first cruise, and I never used a lot of it. And, I took way too many shoes and clothes that I never wore. Have a fun Honeymoon cruise! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted October 23, 2006 #3 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Actually, instead of adding "stuff," I would suggest tossing out one half of all you have already packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticks1 Posted October 23, 2006 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Congratulations - I hope you have a wonderful trip. Binoculars Night Light - cabins can be very dark Power Strip or outlet extender Plenty of ones and fives for tipping porters, room service, taxis, etc. as well as buying things in port - exact change is best as they sometimes say they don't have change.:rolleyes: Chargers for camera batteries or extra batteries.

tkportersat Posted October 23, 2006 #6 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I never leave home without my power strip and my spray bottle.......Pack your formal stuff in dry cleaner bags so that they don't get ruined or wrinkled in transit (had a dress get snagged and ruined once :() I always overpack, but hey you just never know what kind of mood you will be in :) I also take extra wire hangers, there are never enough for us because we unpack everything and then we leave them behind. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandgnat Posted October 23, 2006 #7 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I always bring my thermal mug. I like to keep my drink covered and the glasses available on the cruise are small. Since it is your honeymoon cruise not a bad idea to get some urastat, it is available over the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcruiser Posted October 23, 2006 #8 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Looks, like I got everything covered. I'm still putting clothes back into the closet. I'm having a little trouble with the shoes though. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensona Posted October 23, 2006 #9 Share Posted October 23, 2006 i was going to suggest the Uristat or Azostandard as well. no on wants to think about getting a bladder infection on a cruise or a honeymoon but it happens and it is not fun! some drs will give you a prescription for antibiotics just in case to take with you. we brought a shoe organizer to hang over the bathroom door and it worked well for finding little spaces to put things. i also brought a thermal mug and it came in handy! have fun!

wavecruiser Posted October 23, 2006 #11 Share Posted October 23, 2006 My honeymooning friends took their honeymoon champagne glasses with them and used it for their drinks - I thought it was so cute! Like others have said...hangers, electrical outlet, lots and lots of $1 bills for tips and taxis. One thing we needed but never thought to pack was a lint roller.

CraftyDD Posted October 23, 2006 #12 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Don't feel bad - I have problems with the shoe thing as well. You may want an alarm clock for the room, air freshener, post it notes (to leave notes for room steward and each other), your own shampoo/soap if you are picky, insulated mug. I always pack an empty duffle bag for dirty clothes - and zip lock bags in case you have wet things when its time to go home. Happy Honeymoon.

curlyfries Posted October 24, 2006 #13 Share Posted October 24, 2006 We got the idea from Cruise Critic to take door decorations. Our group had three cabins side by side and it was so much easier to look for the Turkey door than read the numbers all the way down the hall. One of the other doors had a pumpkin and the other a cornicopia. Just some cheap decorations I picked up in the dollar store. It was also good for the kids, easier than reading numbers to pick out their room. There should be lots of good ideas for your honeymoon.
