Hi Jennifer,
Thank you so much for sharing your packing tip…it’s a good one, for sure. The pencil case is a great idea too, since it probably closes and things don’t fall out of it. Thank you for reading the article…much appreciated.

Hi Karin,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write and to share your great ideas. I love the idea of bringing a snack with you to go ashore. Please be careful, though, that there aren’t regulations that prohibit your bringing food into another country. Your ice bag idea is super good, too…even if just to splash on your face on a day in a really hot port. Enjoy your next cruise!

I have one that I try to tell everyone to bring with them. An insulated lunch bag type of cooler. People forget room service is free and they love to offer wonderful sandwiches and snacks. This is perfect for an afternoon snack when off the ship on an excursion. Ziplocks will hold ice which you can safely drink when melted. It will save you from a headache too if your forgetting to snack because there is so much to see.

Thanks for the great ideas!! Many will be in my bag for the next trip!!

Hi Wanda,
Thank you very much for taking the time to add your suggestions. All of them are really good ideas. I always take anti-bacterial wipes but sometimes forget to do as you do and immediately wipe things down. Thanks for the reminder!
