Things to take on cruise that you can also take on airplane?

[Josh & Amy]

For those who will be flying what are the things you need to take on a cruise that also you will have no problem taking on the airplane? I know they have changed a lot of things about liquids etc...how about small bottles of shampoo etc can we take those? Any just anything else that would be helpful.

It's the new 3-1-1 rule. Liquids can be up to 3 oz in size, have to be in a 1 20x20" ziplock bag and there is 1 bag allowed per passenger. Check on the airlines website. It's all explained in details there.

Also remember the 3-1-1 rule only applies to your carry-on luggage.

So I can only take liquids on my carry ons and not in my checked luggage?

[joergr]

Your check luggage can have as much liquid as you desire.
Just put in you carry on what you need for 1 day. Consider your bags might not arrive at your stateroom door until 7 pm. So what do you need in between: change of clothes, bathing suit, shorts & t-shirt if you come from colder climates.

Click HERE for the TSA's guidelines regarding 3-1-1. As MrsB noted, this applies only to carry-ons.

If you'd like to take shampoo, you can either pack it in your checked luggage, or carry on the 3-ounce (or less) size within the quart-sized ziploc baggie. Note that bottles within the ziploc should have the capacity indicated on them.

What about Ipods & MP3 Players...are they OK?

iPods and MP3 players are fine. They just can't be used during take-off and landing. My son brings along a portable DVD player to keep him occupied both during the flight and between connections.
