21 Must Pack Items for Your Cruise

Image
I am less than two months away since my Mediterranean cruise with Celebrity and I'm starting to think about what I want to bring. Packing for a cruise is very different than any other vacation. You can't just run to Walgreens if you forget something and you don't want to pay $10 for two Tylenol in the ship's shop.  Here are my must have products for your next cruise.

Something New Coming Soon

It was hard to find and the places I did find some of it was popular. I've decided to post this missing information, not only from this cruise, but from other cruises, hotels, and attractions. Look for videos and photos coming soon. I'll also have travel trips and tips. I'll also be concentrating on accessible travel information as I now travel exclusively in a power wheelchair or motorized scooter.  Marcia
