Packing Tips
Required or very important items:Passport (see required cruise documents section of the blog)
Cruise documents
Credit card
Special occasions to pack for on Caribbean itineraries:
Formal Night (you can rent gowns and tuxedos on the ship: If you prefer more formal attire during the optional dress-up evenings, you're invited to pre-order tailored formalwear rentals and have them delivered directly to your stateroom upon arrival. To learn more, visit Cruiseline Formalwear.) https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/faq/dining-food-beverages/dining-dress-codes/- Women: SHOES!!! (Both of them), Dress or gown, accessories, sweater for dining rooms, make-up (if you wear it), curling iron/straightener or whatever you need to make your hair dazzling!
- Men: Tuxedo or suit. If bringing a Tux, don't forget your buttons, bowtie, and cufflinks. We found this out the hard way that Disney Cruise Line does not sell them on the ship!
- Don't forget your kiddos! Sunday best would be just fine on Formal Night.
Semi-formal Night: Same as formal night, just not as formal! Ladies, a nice dress/skirt will do. Men, nice slacks/polo or a button down shirt or a suit will do.
Pirate Night: Make-up, costume, accessories. You can dress up as much as possible or not at all. DCL will give you bandanas to wear on Pirate Night. You can also purchase pirate gear in the shops on the ship.
Tip: Many people think Nassau has pirate costumes since there is a history of pirate activity. Actually, Nassau does not sell much in the way of pirate gear. They have a few T-shirts and accessories in the Pirate Museum, but don't plan on buying a pirate costume there.
Items people are thankful they packed:
Medications
Clothespins (personally, I've never needed them, but people like to use them to hang wet suits on the clothesline in the bathroom)
Laundry soap
Autograph book (if you have kids)
Pins to trade
Mickey Ears
Ziploc bags for wet clothes
Sea Lice Ointment for Castaway Cay. When sea lice is bad, they will sometimes provide it. I have also seen it for sale in the shops on the ship and on the island.
