I was wondering if anyone knows of a website that has a vacation planning guideline. I just want to make sure I have all of my bases covered. Also any helpful tips for our stay on board would be great. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

just checking my ticker

Sure, this ones does. If you click on the "CruiseReviews.com" link above this discussion, you will see a page with a bunch of links to useful sites. On the right side of th epage there is a link called Cruise Q&A.. bunch of great information in there.

Welcome aboard army25chick2001. Take sunglasses, sunscreen, and plenty of smiles. Relax, enjoy, don't try to do everything offered each day. Explore the ship, pick out your favorite bar(s), if you don't want to plan excursions, find locals that will give you tours. Be back to the ship on time, they will leave without you if you are not on an excursion through them. Enjoy the food, scenery, and flavors of the experience. Have a wonderful cruise!!

I have the same question. I would like a checklist of some sort. My wife and I are sailing on our first cruise on october 8, and need some packing help.

I found a great website that has numerous lists. I have printed off 2 that I like, and will begin combining them. The website is http://www.cruiseclues.com/packinglist.htm

I am leaving on the carnival conquest from Galveston on october 8. If you will be on that cruise feel free to email me at awestruckbygrace@gmail.com

Thank you all so much for replying. I checked the website that dhenry suggested and it has alot of great lists. Thank you so much! We leave out of Galveston Dec. 17, 2006. We start our drive on Dec. 15th. Yay road trip

dhenry,
