It is now almost a month after our cruise and I am still unpacking. I guess that is fitting, considering the amount of time I spent packing and planning before the cruise. We ended up taking 2 carry on suitcases, 1 regular size, a back pack suitcase, a small overnight bag (for electronics, and a tiny toddler backpack.
As I am unpacking I am hit with the truth I suspected on-board the ship. We over packed. We took so much stuff that we did not use. I will post a full list of items that sat dormant in our suitcase taking up valuable space but until then, enjoy these top 5 lists.

- Clothing. Way to much clothing.

- Small inflatable pool (for toddler swimming & bathing)
- Full size power strip ( We used a small one with 3 outlets)
