Pre-Cruise Packages (ya know...that 1' X 1' X 1' box they allow)

What have you included in yours, or if it's your first time what do you plan on packing in it?

Disney's pre-cruise list seemed a little common sense to me and most of it is light enough where it will not effect my luggage weight. The only thing I could think of is two sun screen spray cans which will help if DCL sun screen prices are anything like WDW's...

I've shipped the sunblock along with other stuff I won't need until I'm onboard (especially helpful when going to WDW before the cruise). I shipped extra sunblock, our refillable insulated straw tumblers, ponchos, umbrellas, my mini-medicine cabinet kit, door magnets, collapsible organizers, and gifts for cruise group gift exchange. I'd consider shipping down our snorkel gear, too, since that's something else we won't need until we're there cruising. If they didn't have the 'no luggage' rule I know I'd at least ship down the formal wear.

Ahhh...snorkeling stuff...you saved me some space! The formal wear is a bummer too cause I gotta buy one of those suit traveling bags for my suit and her dress...

We have a set of the Swiss Army luggage from Target. Our Super Target had the luggage on sale recently. I saw our same garment bag on sale for like $25-$30 off recently. We cram a LOT into all the pockets of ours.

Not so. DCL has on board pressing and dry cleaning service. They are for a fee, but they are not bad at all. I think $8 to have a suit pressed, and $10 to have it cleaned and pressed. I stick my suit in a normal suitcase, and as soon as I get let into my stateroom, I call the porter and send it to be cleaned and pressed. It is hanging in my room ready to go the next morning.
