Packing List for Cruise

If you haven't noticed already, I'm an extremely organized person.  We love to take cruises, so I had a good packing list already made, but I've updated it now to fit our honeymoon.

I broke the list up into different sections: Stuff for Jason, Stuff for Me, Stuff for Both of Us, First Aid Kit, and Cruise Folder.  Since reporting to the ship doctor for simple ailments can be expensive, we always take a first aid kit with simple medicines and remedies in it.  For every cruise, I make a folder that houses all the important documents we may need, including our cruise documents and excursion information.

I also highlighted everything that needs to go in our carry-on luggage in pink.  You always want to have at least one outfit in your carry-on in case there is a delay in your luggage arriving at your room.  You also want to make sure all your important documents, including your passports, are on you at all times.  

Here's the list I currently have for this cruise.  I will most likely add stuff as I start packing.  Some of the things you might think are weird to take on vacation, so I wrote my explanation beside them in red for you.
