Answer 1

Your cabin will have two beds which can be made into a queen, a bathroom with a shower stall, a closet and some drawer space, a TV and telephone, a safe for valuables, and a life jacket for each passenger. They will furnish fresh bath towels a couple times a day and also provide towels for the pool, and you can sign to have towels to take to the beach if you want. They will provide soap and shampoo and a hair dryer. Some ships have a small refrigerator/mini-bar that you have to pay for drinks from. But you can always call for free room service if you are hungry or thirsty.

Some people worry about getting sea sick, but the ships being used these days have automated stabilizers which minimize the rocking. The larger ships cut through the water so easy that you don’t even feel like you are moving. When there is bad weather the cruise lines will steer around and away from it, sometimes changing the order of port stops. Also, the ships generally move overnight and dock in the mornings so you don’t feel much movement. Consequently, your chances of getting sea sick are minimal. There is generally less motion than on an airplane. If you do get sick, all ships have a doctor and they will dispense sea sick medicines. If you are prone to motion sickness, just get pills or a patch from your own doctor before you go, or go to a boating store and get a sea sickness bracelet.

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, your camera, and other personal toiletries. After 6:00 PM they request that you wear "sports casual" attire. That's attire that you would expect a person to wear in a business office, 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 7-day cruises have two formal nights 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. (we usually take off the formal stuff after dinner and pictures anyway).

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 and your clothes that you sleep in.

What To Bring On Cruise

Answer 3

The areas you are going to be visiting are all warm climate areas. Jamaca Either Ocho Rios or the Kingston area are very warm at this time. Georgetown in the Caymens is also quite warm. Shorts light summer shirts and tops for daytime. At night aboard ship. causal dress, for the exception of Formal night. Take rain gear, Take changes of shoes, for excursions off the ship. Otherwise just dress the way you normally would for summer. When out on excursions, watch you money and valuables, Don't carry a lot of cash, Maybe one debit or credit card, You will have a ship ID card for exit and entry back to the ship. Have fun

Answer 4

you may want to include:
- a electrical power strip/plug
- nightlite (especially if inside cabin)
- travel clock
- duct tape (I swear I have heard so many uses for this! I've used it to hold my drapes closed and to wrap some things I bought into plastic bags for protection (oh, bring some of those too), One time my drawers kept opening and I used duct tape to keep them from banging.
- bring plastic bags to keep stuff waterproof for water excursions
- water shoes are good if you're going on water excursions (they come in sandals or tennis shoes and a variety of other types)
- some people bring an 'over the door shoe hanger' to put over bathroom door for all the little things that don't really "go" anyplace else and are easy to grab on your way out the door. GREAT if more than 2 people in cabin!

OK, that's all I can think of right now :)

HAVE A GREAT TIME!

Answer 6

Be ready for a great time. Do not go crazy on bringing a lot of clothing outfits. You only have 1 formal nite and its not that formal. Tip I have found after 3 cruises try and board as soon as possible. Tag all your luggage with with the tags provide by the cruise line Name and cabin number. Let the crew handle your luggage. Get the floor plan of the ship and go exploring Go eat ,get use to the ship. now go to your cabin. Bring comfortable shoes and light weight clothing.

Answer 7

Don't forget a light sweater or long sleeve cotton "hoodie" or similar wrap. It can get pretty chilly with the A/C in the shows, restaurants, etc.
Also, even though your gratuities will be automatically charged to your account, bring some $1's for tipping room service, bartenders, baggage handlers at the pier, etc.

Answer 8

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

Answer 9

I bring smart casual attire for the day. Two formal gowns for formal night, swim suits, perosnla iems like make-up, a couple pair of shorts, shoes for formal night and good walking shoes, and a desire to have a lot of fun.

Answer 10

VERY THOUROUGH!

Don't forget to tell your credit card companies you will be on vacation. Also, one of those plastic over the door shoe holders are wonderful for holding all of your stuff.
