amejiajr8 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Finally under 100 days for our trip on Allure of the Seas. Getting my usual pre cruise check list together. Any suggestions are helpful to help my memory because I usually end up forgetting something. Flights booked Hotel book with airport transfer to hotel and to port Free shows and character breakfast booked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monorailmedic Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Ensure your passports are valid for at least 6 months after your departure date Travel insurance (if you so choose) Set a reminder to keep checking the site in the event of a target promotion (such as the 20% off bev packages some have seen) Notify CC companies and/or banks that you'll be traveling when/where Stop your mail, newspaper, etc (may have to wait until 90 days out) Bob_KY and DocLC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 How are you getting to/from the airport (from home) ? Prescription medicine - enough to last through the cruise and until you get home ? Power strip WITHOUT surge protector ? ...BTW, they're pretty hard to find...and RCI is starting to crack down on the ones with surge protectors Collapsible clothes basket/hamper ? Water shoes if you have any beach activities planned - particularly Labadee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amejiajr8 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 These are great suggestions Underwear check Adding bath to the list Didn't think about power strip though I found plug with multiple USB plugs (4) from idea. The only actual thing that uses outlet is my camera battery charger but I am debating using my cellphone for all photos again. Worked great last trip. Need to arrange transportation back to airport pre cruise transportation is a check Passports don't expire until 2018 but to be safe I will go check. Is lababdee rocky?

I have a similar one to his that does have a SP and it's a no-no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 It seems to be well covered already. But as slow as these hundred days will past, you can be sure the days on the ship will fly by. Time is not constant on a cruise ship, sorry Dr Einstein. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Is lababdee rocky? Yes ! Some beaches are. You won't regret your water shoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcarney Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 These work great. No cord, plugs straight into the outlet I bought one of those, but it gets quite warm and buzzes a bit, so I didn't take it with us. Does yours buzz as well?

No buzzing or getting warm? I know there are several brands that make this type of device. This one has worked great for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firegal2539 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I always take my Halo Cell Phone Charger. I bought four of them on QVC, one for me and three for Xmas gifts. You charge them at home once and it holds a charge for about 3 months. It has the adapters for any phone, tablet or laptop and when I am on a plane, in an airport or on a cruise it is the way to go to charge your phone. And they come in cool and pretty colors. I take an empty journal, so people I meet, I can get their name, telephone number and email address, if they want to give it to me. I also write the name of the ports, what I saw and what pictures I took so when I get home I can label them. I find this is really a good way to keep everything straight. I just buy a small pocket journal. I take a few clothes pins, if I want to hang up anything to dry and magnets, just in case. Candie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umfrie Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I second the magnets suggestion. Most of the walls are magnetic and it can be great for hanging reminders, tour tickets, etc. This is a useful tool for both planning and journaling your cruise :) Cruise Planner & Journal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjac Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 We were on the Allure last year for a 2 week B2B. Months prior to sailing, I printed off the deck plans and we studied them so once we on board, we had a really good idea of what was where and where we were. No point in spending spending a lot of cruise time go forward-aft, aft-forward looking for something on the wrong deck. I printed decks 3-17. Yeah, there are the "way finders" on each deck, but I found it a lot easier getting familiar with the deck plans ahead of time. Oh, one last thing.....ENJOY and have a great trip! hallyluhopper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason.H. Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I enjoy taking binoculars. You can see cuba for the majority of an entire day while at see. Some small light houses and such. And other cruise ships sometimes. Highlighter for cruise compass. Cheap watch you can wear and leave set on "ship time". Some ports are in different time zones. Clothes line clips for hanging a bathing suit to dry (if you have a balcony room). Flash light (just in case ). DocLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeK Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Keep the magnets away from your sea pass card! The magnet works good if you are looking for silver items in Mexico etc. Silver will not stick to the magnet, if we had not used the magnet in Cozumel we would have been stuck with a fake necklace.

SouthernYankee Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 When you are in Labadee, just go to Columbus Beach. No rocks at all and completely calm water that you can walk into until the depth you prefer. Very nice beach and close to bathroom facilities and a buffet station. Tram service is provided.
