Must Brings on Carnival

[tinydancer2109]

Just a fun/funny topic to help out new timers and help the experienced remember our first cruises.

So to start the must have list.

 

1. Surge Protector with multiple outlets!

Reason: One outlet per room. Have fun ladies!:rolleyes:

[QLUVS2CRUZ]

If you are going to Chankanaab Park in Cozumel - bring organic sunscreen! (I don't know if you have to use it everywhere there, but we had to when we went to Playa Uvas in the park)

[mom2girls]

Lanyard for you S&S card. I also bring an insulated cup so that my iced tea doesn't get warm while hanging out at the pool. (It's also bigger than the dinky cups on the ship.)

[redpelican]

A travel clock and a bungie cord...for holding the balconey door open!

[murphalina]

Wristwatch so you keep on ship time when you're in the ports.

[RAVI360]

i don't do a insulated ....but a big cup from 7/11 or royal farms or any 24 \7 spot that have big cups.........always good

This travel clock for the room. Just got one....perfect!!

[Rodeomomof2]

An over the door shoe hanger to put all those little things that you can easily grab out of the pockets and go with...I also like to bring a small mesh over the shower head hanger to keep shampoo, razors etc. in for easy reach. ;)

[PrettyHazardous]

A highlighter to highlight what you want to do that day in the capers... $$ to tip the ppl.

[mousey]

Ever since the first time I brought one with me on a cruise, I never cruise without a small pop-up hamper! Keeps the cabin tidy (I travel with the DH and DS, so I need all the help I can get)!:D

[bubbles1209]

Some of these, not all are for the Ladies (sorry guys)

1. Stockings if you wear them, hard to find, and pricey when you do.

2. Feminine needs-pricey if you find them

3. Small sewing kit

4. Small 1st aid kit (we always bring band-aids with the neosporin already in the band-aid, dramamine, something for a headache, sunscreen & aloe, immodium a.d.-just in case, and zantac.)

[Trplnckl]

TUMS...or equivalent. Over eating does occur I hear.

[cruisegal58]

we always bring a soft sided cooler to keep drinks cold.

[andychris]

Don't forget:

post it notes

downy wrinkle release

walkie talkies

ziploc bags

[oooohDonna]

If you are going to Chankanaab Park in Cozumel - bring organic sunscreen! (I don't know if you have to use it everywhere there, but we had to when we went to Playa Uvas in the park)

 

 

Looked for some at Walmart, just last night, and they did not have any!

I thought if Walmart didn't have something, no one did! :D

I spent 15 min. looking at every stupid bottle , LOL!

[teachswim]

Donna,

I looked everywhere for it last month.

I went to Chankanaab without it. I watched people put on regular sun screen and nobody said a word.

The Royal Dolphin swim is a blast! Talk them down a little on the pictures - you are still in Mexico.

Have a good time. jm

[Catrin]

Things I bring, that I actually Use....

 

Pop Up Hamper

Ziploc Bags

Excederin, Advil, Immodium

Wrist Watch

Travel Alarm

Insulated Mug

Sunscreen and Aloe

Power Strip

Paperback Book

 

Things I still bring, that I never use

Post Its

Highlighter

Overthedoor shoe thingy

Clothes (yes, I do bring clothes, but usually too much!)

[bubbalu]

In addition to what's already been posted:

 

Small bills for tipping.

Antibacterial Handwipes for use in ports

Sweat pants or elastic waist type pants for the return trip home (I hear some people gain weight while on a cruise).

Hat with a visor to help keep the sun off your face or the rain.

[mrkrpan]

Sweater, sweatshirt or something like this - even if you are going to a tropical environment, some of the public rooms are FREEZING. It's not fun to anticipate a wonderful vacation and then be cold and uncomforatble. Gift shops usually have a good selection of sweatshirts, but at a price.

[gracie65]

I always take a sleeve of saltine crackers. Nothing like having a bit too much to drink the night before & having to send someone on a hunt for them. This way they are within my reach.

Maybe nobody said anything, but you're still doing the environment a HUGE injustice by not using the right sunscreen. Coral reefs are vital to all life on earth, not just sea life. Traditional sunscreen bleaches coral. Do the right thing and get biodegradable sunscreen. You can easily find it at many retailers online, including Amazon and drugstoredotcom. Thanks, lecture over.

[DMKahlan]

If you have an inside cabin, bring a nightlight.

 

In addition to what has already been listed, I bring

 

pen or pencil(s)

notepad

Sharpie

extra memory sticks

underwater camera

waterproof bag or container

nightlight

air freshner

 

I would bing the kitchen sink if I could fit it in my bag... :D

[Familyforce6]

I would imagine some Beano.;)

Surge suppresor, alarm clock, duct tape (everyone said to bring it in case.....I bought bright white and put in on our suitcases....they were easily spotted at debarkation), money for tips, book or two, MP3 player,

great idea!! I am going to do this.

 

What size? I would love one to fit into the closet on the bottom.
