If your camera uses batteries don't forget extras,charging batteries on board is a hassle and really not a good idea,as chargers my come-up missing,not that our sailors are thiefs but things do come-up missing just ask your sailor.

IKE Tiger Cruise 2010 Packing List

You’re signed up for IKE Tiger Cruise 2010, and you can’t wait. Now you need to know what to bring aboard for your trip. Hopefully, the following packing recommendations will help ease your mind.

1. PACK LIGHT – Imagine a two‐day camping trip without the tent and pack accordingly. For those non‐campers in the group, this means all of your belongings should fit into a small backpack or duffel bag. We are expecting nearly 1400 Tigers to join us onboard IKE and with our nearly 4500 sailors heading home too, storage space will be severely limited.

2. COME PREPARED – On the surface, this one runs contrary to Rule #1, but it’s necessary, so you’ll have to be creative. There will be three things: HOT, HUMID, and HIGHLY unpredictable weather. Plan on high temperatures, possible thunderstorms, rolling seas, or a mix of all three, and pack the following:

•Sunscreen & all your daily medications (if needed)
•Light breathable clothing
•A small raincoat or poncho (preferably one you can stuff in your pocket)
•Sunglasses
•Comfortable shoes (preferably rubber‐soled sneakers)
•Basic hygiene items (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc.)
•A good attitude ☺

3. GEAR – Tiger Cruise is an “once‐in‐a‐lifetime” event, so definitely bring a camera. Don’t bring your laptop! We also don’t recommend bringing additional items that you could feasibly do without for two days, i.e. iPods, Blackberrys, cell phones, etc. All possessions brought aboard are your sole responsibility – IKE will not be liable for any lost or stolen items. So again, definitely bring a camera, but think twice before packing any other extraneous stuff.

4. WHAT NOT TO PACK – A short, but by no means comprehensive list: alcohol, high heels, hats (you can bring a hat, but they will not be allowed on the flight deck during flight operations), or pretty much anything that you can’t carry through baggage check at the airport (i.e. weapons of any kind, to include knives, guns, etc.). Most of the “no‐go” items are common sense, but if you have any doubt at all, please ask your sponsor for clarification.
Well, that about covers it. Again, if you have any further questions, please ask your sponsor aboard IKE.

Thanks – IKE Tiger Team
