     <\/p>\n

    One thing we have found whenever\u00a0we\u00a0take\u00a0a\u00a0Carnival<\/a>\u00a0cruise\u00a0 is that\u00a0we always seem to forget at least one thing we wished we had put in the bag. This is our list of 11 things to\u00a0consider\u00a0packing for your cruise vacation.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Your cruise won’t be ruined if you don\u2019t have these\u00a0things but it will certainly\u00a0be a bit easier with them.<\/p>\n

    1. Laundry Pen<\/strong>
    \nIt is a given that at some point during our cruise vacation we are going to drip, dribble or downright drop something on our brand new clothes. A laundry pen is\u00a0perfect for these occasions. You can quickly attack the spot and hopefully prevent any staining. If you are worried about staining the cruise ship will have laundry services available. You’ll\u00a0be\u00a0able\u00a0to\u00a0have your clothes cleaned and pressed during the cruise.<\/p>\n

    2. Adhesive note sheets<\/strong>
    \nWe\u00a0like\u00a0using\u00a0these\u00a0note\u00a0sheets\u00a0to\u00a0leave\u00a0messages for our cabin steward. You can place them on the mirror and let your cabin steward know if you need something for the room. They also work well\u00a0for keeping in touch with family members during the cruise.<\/p>\n

    \"test\"3. Waterproof bag<\/strong>
    \nA waterproof bag is a nice way to secure your phone, cruise card and cash while visiting the beach or the pool. These come in various sizes and types. If you can find one that is clear on both sides you can shoot pictures through it while playing in the water. They may\u00a0not\u00a0always\u00a0be the best pictures but they are better than nothing.<\/p>\n

    4. Electric charging bar<\/strong><\/p>\n

    We bring phones, laptops, camera batteries and so\u00a0many\u00a0other\u00a0electronics\u00a0with\u00a0us\u00a0when we cruise. So\u00a0we\u00a0like\u00a0to\u00a0pack a brand new electrical extension bar to keep things charged (new, still in packaging, because the cruise line can confiscate one they consider to be potentially unsafe). We don\u2019t use every slot so\u00a0as\u00a0not\u00a0to overpower the socket, but we can get a few things charged each time.<\/p>\n

    5. Refillable water bottle\/coffee mug<\/strong>
    \nDepending on where you are cruising it can be super hot or cold. Having a refillable coffee mug lets\u00a0you\u00a0enjoy your favorite hot beverage. A reusable water bottle will help you stay cool\u00a0and\u00a0hydrated during your cruise.<\/p>\n

    6. Highlighter<\/strong>
    \nHave\u00a0a couple of highlighters handy\u00a0so you can\u00a0highlight the activities in the Fun Times that you’d\u00a0like to participate in.<\/p>\n

    7. Mesh Bag<\/strong>
    \nSome stores do not provide shopping bags for your purchases. Having a mesh bag lets you carry all of your purchases without having to juggle them. Mesh bags also work well for wet towels and beach items.<\/p>\n

    8. Magnet<\/strong>
    \nA magnet gives you the chance to leave notes on the door for your family and friends. You can also put up the fun times schedule so it is easily accessible.<\/p>\n

    \"test\"9. Key Card Holder<\/strong>
    \nA hanging key card holder is a\u00a0good\u00a0thing\u00a0to\u00a0have\u00a0if you don\u2019t want to worry about carrying your cruise card in your pocket.<\/p>\n

    10. Sealable Baggies<\/strong>
    \nSealable baggies in various sizes are an\u00a0essential addition to your suitcase. They can hold purchases, wet clothes, and so much more. I like to use the gallon size ones to keep my Fun Times so they are safe and dry in my suitcase. I like bringing them home so I can look back on them and remember the cruise.<\/p>\n

    11. Small purse<\/strong>
    \nBring\u00a0a small purse to\u00a0hold\u00a0your cruise card and camera when walking around the ship. I always like to have my camera with me so carrying\u00a0a small purse means\u00a0I don\u2019t have to always have it in hand.<\/p>\n

    What are your must packs for your cruise vacation?<\/p>\n
