Carnival Cruises offer voyages on its large fleet of megaships to the Caribbean, Central and South America, Hawaii, Alaska and Europe. No matter which trip you take, there are certain items you should pack. Well in advance, you should make sure your passport is current, since some countries require it to be valid for months after you return home. You are also responsible for ensuring that you have the appropriate visa, if required by any of the countries on your itinerary. Carnival's comprehensive website now enables guests to print out their cruise documents and even luggage tags before they depart. These should be packed, along with your passport, credit cards, cash and medicines, in your carry-on bag. It's also a sure bet that you'll want to pack your digital camera, video camera and iPod for any Carnival cruise. Depending on your situation, you may also want to pack your BlackBerry, laptop and cell phone. For any electronic devices you take, also pack your chargers, extra batteries and cards. All these items should be placed in your carry-on bag. For any Carnival cruise, your motto should be: pack light. You'll save money in airline luggage fees and have more room in your stateroom to enjoy your cruise. Carnival Cruises 3655 NW 87th Ave. Miami, FL 33178 888-CARNIVAL carnival. com/
