What To BringWhat to bring on a cruise vacation is a question we get a lot! Packing for a cruise is like packing for any resort-based vacation. You'll want to bring comfortable, casual clothing for daytime on board and in port, and swimsuits and workout clothes for pools, Jacuzzis, saunas and health clubs. Think about the kind of shore excursions you may take and pack accessories, where appropriate, such as hiking boots, ponchos or rain gear, fleece jackets and snorkel gear.Most ships have 110-volt outlets in every cabin, which will accommodate hairdryers, travel irons and electric shavers. Most new ships provide hairdryers as well. Bring a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses for bright, sunny days on deck. You'll have many opportunities to have your picture taken by the ship's photographers, but you'll naturally want to bring your own camera or video camera as well. Pack all of your medications, prescription or otherwise, in a bag you can carry onto your flights. Obtain extra prescriptions from your physician for any medications you are currently taking and carry them with you. For more information on what you are allowed to bring in your carry-on luggage, click on the Canadian Air Transport Authority link for current, up to date information on their restrictions. Also, a good place to start for general guidelines on airline carry-on luggage policies, visit the Air Canada website to view theirs.
