wstephensi Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 DW forgot to pack youngest DD shirts on a 4 night cruise many moons ago. DD came home with several RCCL logo t-shirts. Got home and there was a pile of neatly folded shirts on DD bed. Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you mentioned this...I'll make sure to request them on our next cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought you left out an "e", and meaning The Key, since that is such a popular topic on these boards. And then I thought about it, you really meant KY!

RestingBird Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 I forgot my dress shirt for our first cruise. Luckily we remembered before we boarded, so we ran to Ross to grab one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThyriC Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 On 5/31/2019 at 10:39 AM, toodle68 said: I have an excel spreadsheet. My first tab has the basics and then I create a new tab for each vacation. I change it over the months leading up to a cruise and then on packing day I print it off and cross off each item as I pack. The only item we have ever forgotten was sunscreen on a Caribbean cruise. We looked in a shop on shore and they wanted $36 (US) for a can lol.. never forgotten it since. Oh thank the stars I'm not the only one who spreadsheets the packing list. Hub gets on me about my obsession with making lists. I told him its one list (with 5 sheets on the spreadsheet). I'd normally use Smartsheets for lists like this but hub would get real annoyed with me if I had a cloud based list and tell me I need to leave work at work for once.

I also make one for the costs. I break down everything, food, taxi, excursion, flights, upgrades etc. when I am home I like to look at the total cost of the vacation. It helps with planning future trips and also to learn what I under estimated. Like this last trip I totally under estimated the cost of getting in and out of Manhattan. Two hours in an Uber gets pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baked Alaska Posted June 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Does anyone have any items they forgot to pack specifically for their Alaska cruise? We are 44 days out and am gathering items in the suitcases (sans the clothing). Just wondering what I'm leaving out that I shouldn't.

DDaley Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Always forget my binoculars on land vacations! I always want them in new cities and seeing new ports shouldn't be any different. They're on my packing lists (I use the checklist feature in the iOS notes app) for my Grand Canyon trip this month and the August cruise, we'll see if they make the packing cut!

We went early in the season and lucked out, but we were warned to bring insect repellent. I had both wipes and spray just in case. Everything costs more in Alaska, so have a nice selection of OTC meds just in case. If you drink warm drinks when it is cold, I recommend you bring a YETI-style cup with you..it will hold way more than a coffee cup and keep you and your drink warmer longer during glacier time!

This is why I have a checklist on the notepad in my phone that I can check/uncheck and also add/delete as needed, too. I would have lost that scribbled on paper long ago. On the subject of forgot, my wife packed some new dresses she got specifically for our January 2018 cruise, decided to repack, forgot to repack the dresses.
