Have you started to pack?

Patricia August 22nd, 2007

Oh, so perhaps August is a bit early for packing, but while I’m fresh off the ship, I want to share a few things to put on your packing list.  I promise to remind you about this as we get closer — but for those of you NEED to know — here’s my notes.

  1. Bring a hairdryer.  Um. I just want to say that the one in the bathroom wasn’t great and my hair is not long and it still took forever to dry.  Should you not want either to spend your cruise waiting for your hair to dry or to walk around with wet head, bring your own.
  2. There were all of two outlets in my outside cabin.  Um, plan accordingly.
  3. Absolutely NOTHING that heats up are allowed in the cabin except for a hair dryer and a curling iron.  There was an endless loop on the TV about the clothing irons.  If you need something pressed, it was rather cheap to have the ship do it.
  4. Please remember we will be in Alaska in early May.  Also, both Ketchikan and Juneau are in rain forests — so when packing, please plan on rain.  Plan for things to be rather chilly too.  On the decks of the ship, I noticed that wind really kicks up and makes it much cooler.
  5.  If you have ever sailed Celebrity, please make sure I have you Captain’s Club number.  Also, if you are platinum or above level on Royal Caribbean, call the Crown & Anchor club and get a Celebrity Captain’s Club number.

Ready yet?

    Friends who did the Alaska cruise and spent a lot of time on their private patio suggested bringing long johns. If you tend to get cold and want to be outside, it’s not a bad idea.

    I’ve started buying stuff to take with me on the trip, does that count? :)
