Traveling Mike Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 On Friday I am leaving for Sydney and will be gone 33 days. I will be on the Ovation for 28 days. I just realized I am going to need a 2-pack of Deodorant. Will the bottle of shampoo be enough for 33 days. So what I am asking you experts is... What am I not thinking about that I might run out of?

Biaggio Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Made sure if you take meds, you have enough for the trip plus extra for delays. Robert M, Traveling Mike, WAAAYTOOO and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 On that topic, take extra OTC products. On our Jan cruise in Tahiti my wife got sick and ship store didn't have anything useful. Apparently, she ate bad cheese at LAX but didn't get sick until after we boarded. Was afraid to go to medical, despite my urging.

CruisingNewb Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Stamina. Also take clothing that is one size larger. You will probably need them after the second week! All kidding aside, I am SO JEALOUS. Ovation is a GREAT ship. Freegirl, Gilley, TessFromFlorida and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Besides enough meds, clothes and toiletries. I think anything you can't live without for 30 days. Traveling Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharla Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 You go through deodorant that quickly?! If you run out of deodorant/toothpaste I'm sure you can shop in a port. You can use the shampoo on the ship if necessary. Other than that I say to bring clothes spanning a lot of temps, cooler at night/morning, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 28 days - that’s you not even trying ? We are sailing 27th Sept and not arriving in Sydney until 1st Nov - and having left home in Scotland on 25th Sept we won’t be back till probably about 8th Nov. going to need serious layers, lots of elasticated waisted clothes and a larger shampoo / conditioner than a normal vacation. but it will be a great experience and probably unlikely to repeat it again TessFromFlorida and Traveling Mike 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattycruise Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Whatever you pack toiletry/med wise for a 7 day cruise multiply by 4. Id bring an extra set of glasses if you wear them. Hubby’s disappeared out of the cabin one cruise-sucked for him! Also if you use hearing aids extra batteries.

I am sorry for the late response. I stayed at The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel. It is a pub with 7 or 8 rooms above the pub. It was a great experience and I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

I also had to purchase hair conditioner and it was twice the price I would have paid at home. Everything else was fine. I did Laundry at the end of the 10 day cruise and 1/2 way through the 17 day cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
