Are you planning a Disney Mediterranean Cruise and unsure what to pack? We have a great Disney Mediterranean Cruise packing list which includes a few things you might not realize you need.
Disney 7 Day Mediterranean Cruise Packing List
Copy of your Passport, Drivers License, and Credit Cards
Make sure you know the PIN number for your credit card in case you need to withdraw cash.
We have found that a document holder helps keep all your cruise documents organized and easy to access during a trip.
Backpack
You will want a backpack that is lightweight, but sturdy.
This will be your day bag on excursions.
Choose one that has plenty of pockets, adjustable padded straps and able to hold a water bottle.
Mix & Match Clothing
Pick outfits that can be worn in several different ways to achieve different looks.
Be sure to pack a Casual Maxi-style Dress for women/girls & Khaki Pants for men/boys that can be worn on the ship for a casual dinner or on an excursion.
Bring a Shrug Sweater &/or Scarf. Many churches will not permit you to walk in with exposed shoulders & arms (and sometimes legs).
Having a scarf that can be draped over your shoulders or a lightweight shrug should help you avoid having trouble going into sacred areas.
Try to stick to 1 pair of walking shoes, 1 pair of sandals/flip-flops, and 1 pair of dress shoes.
Hat, Sunglasses & Sun Screen
Let’s face it, the last thing you want on your vacation is a sunburn.
Make sure that you pack a small travel-size sunscreen, hat and more than one pair of sunglasses (in case you lose them or break them).
Money Belt
Not to scare you, but pick-pockets are rampant overseas.
Be safe and carry a Money Belt that can be hidden under your shirt.
Guide Book
While you may choose pre-booked excursion, there will be times where you might want to venture out on your own.
It would be helpful for you to have a guidebook with useful information.
This is the book I use: Rick Steves’ Mediterranean Cruise Ports.
Cloth Napkins
Most public European bathrooms will have toilet paper and a sink.
What you probably will not find is soap or a way of drying your hands.
A cloth napkin does the trick. Just be sure to grab some paper napkins from the cruise ship.
Hand Sanitizer
See above.
Pocket Change in Euros
Often we think to get paper bills, but don’t always think to get coins. Many bathrooms in Europe are NOT free.
You will be required to pay with coins.
Make sure you have plenty of coins so you aren’t scrambling when you have to go.
Carrying coins can be a hassle, so make sure you purchase a coin purse to be able to hold them easily.
Blister Band-Aids
You will be walking A LOT.
Even if you do have the most comfortable walking shoes in the world, the last thing you want -to do is have to search for band-aids on your vacation in Europe!
Laundry Detergent/ Tide Pen
You might want to do a load of laundry, so why not bring a travel size with you.
In any event, bring a Tide pen or some Shout Wipes too.
Swimwear & Water Shoes
Some beaches are topless, so be sure you know before you go.
Many beaches are rocky, so water shoes will really help keep your feet from being torn up.
Melatonin
Jetlag can put a hamper on your vacation. If you have a hard time getting to sleep, you might want to try Melatonin.
Take it a few hours before you’re ready to sleep and it allows your body to rest naturally.
