So everyone gets frustrated when it comes to packing for living on a ship for the next couple of months. Here are a few ideas that I would have liked to know about:
-Girls: DO NOT bring your straighteners if they don't have "automatic shut off", they WILL take them from you before you get on the ship! Lots of Chis were lost...
-Bring extra hangers; there are very few in the closets and you need to take advantage of the little space you have.
-Bring a good hoody, the ship gets chilly!
-You won't see your favorite snacks for a while, so if there's anythign you can't live without, pack it.
-Have various photocopies of your passport, you never know if they'll steal it in Bulgaria one night (and yeah... thats from experience)
-If you're visiting Muslim countries, bring some linen pants, it gets hot but they'll want you to be covered.
-If you want to visit any orphanages for FDPs bringing little toys or stickers for the children is a great idea.
-Bring plenty of underwear, laundry days are not that often.
-Travel sized shampoos, deodorants etc and a bag pack are great for traveling within countries.
-Bring extra memory cards for your camera, you'll take more pictures than you think. And don't forget camera chargers or batteries!
-The ship has European outlets, bring a converter. (There's regular outlets in your rooms, but not outside)
-Bring a nice outfit for the Ambassadors Ball, its fancy ;)
*SASers any other suggestions?
