An electrical extension cord and cube tap or multi-strip. There are never enough outlets where you need/want them.

A little pack of "Thank You" notes. Just great for extra $$ for the room stewards/Butler/Concierge. And, yes, a pen.

You don't have to bring laundry detergent; a bit of liquid soap/shampoo from the cabin's bathroom works just fine.

Downy Wrinkle Remover. Spray, smooth, and hang the clothing in the bathroom while you bathe.

And, oh, yeah. HAVE A FUN CRUISE!! :D

they don't want to you to bring curling irons either.

I've always brought along a curling iron. I've even left it out on the bathroom vanity. No one has ever said a word to me about it. EEEEK! I can't imagine not having my easy-bake-hair curling iron :D

My very first cruise was on the Sky, to Alaska, in September 2001. (Yes, we were on the cruise on the 11th). So for sentimental reasons, I'd love to buy a Sky Latitudes pin.

So, has anyone actually used a luggage shipping service? Good? Bad? I know it's a bit pricey, but I recently paid $50.00 in overweight charges to United for a SEVEN-pound overage. It might be worth the extra $$$ to have someone else schlep it to the ship and then back home.

Any input would be appreciated...I don't see any shipping services that are listed with the BBB!?
