If you have never been on a cruise before, it is very, very easy to forget things that veteran cruisers would pack in their sleep.

So, to help you remember the essentials, here is a list of things that you absolutely should have packed in advance, as not to cost yourself a fortune on the trip.

Check with your cruise company in advance for exact paperwork necessities, but generally, in your carry on, you should have:
• airline tickets or e-ticket confirmation
• cruise documents
• passports and visas
• driver's license and back up photo ID if a passport is not necessary
• medical insurance cards and medical history
• copy of prescriptions and list of all medicines you are taking
• credit cards and traveler's checks. Make sure that you keep your receipts for your traveler's checks separate from the checks, and call your credit card companies to let them know that you will be spending outside of your normal area. Make sure you have contact information in case anything gets lost or stolen
• pre-paid phone card
• emergency numbers at home
• currency conversion chart
• wallet and money belt to keep important documents secure.
