What to Take On a Cruise Vacation by John Bakers

When you are getting ready to go on a cruise you may find yourself overwhelmed, not knowing what to pack and what to leave behind. It's a delicate balance of making sure you have all the things you are going to use, but not lugging along a lot of things you don't need.

When many people prepare to go on their first vacation cruise, they have a lot of questions about what they should not forget and what they can be comfortable leaving behind. They don't know what items are going to be easy to get a hold of onboard and what they won't have access to.

So when you are sorting out what to pack for your cruise vacation holiday, here's a little list of things to keep in mind:

Necessities

If nothing else, here is a list of things you MUST remember to pack and have on hand when you take off on your cruise vacation:

Passport - For the majority of cruises, you will go to at least a few countries, and therefore you must have a passport and/or state identification card or drivers license to be able to move from country to country.

Car Insurance - If you are planning on renting a car at any of your holiday destinations, you must have proof of automobile insurance to make the process go more easily.

Clock - Since your travels will likely take you from one time zone to another, you will want to have a watch so you can keep track of what time it is. This is even better if you have a multiple time-zone watch.

The Right Clothes - Think ahead to all the kinds of activities you are going to be involved in. If there are formal events planned, make sure you have some of your best outfits so can give off the look you want. Meanwhile, make sure to also have the clothes you need for all the fun things you are planning to do, such as spending time at the pool or going hiking.

Other Things To Consider

Camera - If you want to be able to get a lot of pictures of your fun event, make sure to pack a regular camera with lots of film or a digital camera with extra memory cards. Camcorder - For even more fun memories, you may want to capture some moments on video.

Recreation Items - If you want to read a book at the poolside, bring a good read along, and if you need them, don't forget your reading glasses.

First-aid-items - If you are planning to do hiking or other risky activities you should prepare for whatever may go wrong.

Flash Light - Just in case of an emergency. As you are packing, remember this is just a few days. You do not need everything in your home to be with you. When you first select the items to pack, look at them a few times and decide if they are items you really need.
