diapers shipped to a cruise ship directly? On all our previous cruises we've driven to the embarkation point so luggage wasn't a problem. Now we're considering taking a cruise around Hawaii and we have to fly to SanDiego, which limits the amount of luggage we can take.
I think XPMedical can do it but just wondered how it's worked for others.
Last time we went to Alaska and left out of Seattle, before we left I made a special request for a plastic sheet on one of the beds and it worked out OK, although they put it on the opposite bed than I wanted. Still was OK though. I think the stewards thought it was for one of the two grandkids we brought along.
This time I think I'll just take my own sheet and put it on myself.

Deen,
I would call the cruise line to find out about shipping to the cruise ship directly. That may not be an easy task because the cruise ship has no permanent physical address. But they do have to get shipments somehow. It just may not be easy for you. Whenever I travel, I just bring a seperate bag with all the diapers I will need for the trip packed away. I wear the Xplus and do not generally worry about leaks in the bed. So I don't bring a plastic sheet. I have never had a leak in a hotel. If your that worried about it, just do like you did before where you had the cruise line put a plastic sheet on the bed. I should probably do the same when I travel but oh well.

I have shipped supplies to a cruise ship before.
Each year my company holds a trade-show on a cruise ship, so we have to send all the displays and computers and etc. on ahead of time. Talk to a service rep with the cruise line or with the cruise director, they can provide you with an address to use.

Deen,
I took a 2 week cruise to Hawaii from LA last December. I had to pack over 80 disposable diapers for a trip that long. I called the cruise line to see if I could ship them to them and have them delivered to our stateroom. They would not do it(terrorism policy). I had the option to ship them via UPS but have to pick them at the airport before we boarded the ship. VERY exspensive!!!
What I ended up doing was using an extra large duffel bag that had wheels and they all fit with no problem. This also created an empty bag to bring back souvenirs. My wife loved that. ............ Paul Martin
