What To Take On a Cruise

So, finally decided to treat yourself to a much-deserved cruise. Welcome! The question now is what package. What package depends slightly on which type of cruise you will, but the basics remain the same, for the most part.

For example, if you are taking cruises to Alaska, you may need to take a few extra, warm pieces of clothing. It can get a bit chilly when you are walking on the glacier! And if you'll be cruising through the Bahamas, for example, you're going to want to be prepared for very hot (and possibly wet) weather.

Also, if you go on a cruise singles ... Well, you're only going to want to make sure that you take the cutest clothes! Make sure to dress for bars and dancing, etc. Also, while most cruises do not require you to dress for dinner, some might (at least for one meal), so you have to make a May evening dresses or smoking.

Of course, this being said, there are certain things you'll want to take, regardless of the type of cruise you are or where you're headed:

° sunscreen. You can never have enough sunscreen on a cruise! Think about it - you are surrounded by water, sun and wants nothing more than you burn. You're going to tan and burn a lot faster than you would at home, so be prepared.

° passport! Many cruises stop at the ports of foreign countries. Make sure you have the opportunity to explore them.

° camera. Make sure you catch all the special moments.

° Chapstick with SPF of at least 15

° sunglasses

° Sun Hat

° recipes!

° Swimsuit (you will probably want more than one !)

° Swimsuit Cover-up (so you can go straight from the pool bar)

° up tickets

° credit card

° extra batteries (for camera, music player, etc) shorts (at least one pair)

° t-shirts

° tank tops

° pants

° At least one long-sleeve top

° sweater or jacket

° pajamas

° book (or a crossword puzzle, etc.)

° Dramamine or some other sea-sickness pills!

° Sandals

° walking shoes

° Socks

° underwear (bring at least one or two extra pairs)

• Does not forget your toothbrush and toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner, contact solution, razors, etc. Of course, if you do, it will be easy to find at the store on a cruise (but probably for a higher price )

Of course, the list of items to bring will vary from person to person. This list is only meant that you thought of the things you want to May. Also, the amount of clothing, etc. to be depends largely depending on how long your cruise is. And if you happen to forget it all, will probably be able to find somewhere to ship!
