To lessen the stress of leaving your home behind you, I have a perfect packing list for a Caribbean Cruise. One of my biggest fears is forgetting something essential, and having it hundreds of miles away—right where I left it on the kitchen table.
This is a suggested packing list, but you can always customize it for yourself and your family. However, these are items you should consider bringing with you to optimize your vacation.
