Inventory Checklist
Just got back from a 9 day cruise, with no email, internet, or cell phone. Recommendations for future preparations:
- Pack a watch. I’ve stopped wearing one as I’m typically near my house, my car, or my cell phone, each of which will readily provide me the time. On the cruise, I wasn’t near any of these three.
- Purchase inexpensive water shoes. The shore and water were gorgeous, but once you got to the waterline, sand was replaced by rocks. My sister-in-law tipped me off on this one, and this recommendation is worth passing along.
- Bring a waterproof card case with lanyard. You will need to carry your pass key and driver’s license with you whenever you get off.
- Check out a towel the night before any excursion. The cruise line will loan you towels, it simply is best to avoid the morning when there may be a run on them.
Expensive lanyards and watches are available; oddly water shoes and card cases were hard to find.
