I've not tried it, but maybe those repositionable sticky dots people use in scrapbooking?

Please give a craft-challenge girl some ideas!

 

What is the nicest way of wrapping the dollar bill around the mini-candy bar?

It feels like I shouldn't use scotch tape. What are your thoughts?

It appears that some of the cabins on deck 9 (Minerva) are adjoining. Could anyone verify and provide information on those?

Has anyone has experience with the children's program(s) on the Divina (kids ages 8, 11 & 15)?

Does the ginger only work for tummy issues or is it also good for dizziness? I've only done 1 cruise (just booked another) - I had no problems with my stomach, but was very dizzy/unbalanced for most of the cruise (and about 2 months after I got home). Would I be better off with ginger or bonine?

What did you find regarding the dizziness?

-Repeating the value of the over-the-door shoe rack! I kept all my toiletries in it plus $$ for tips and ID cards at night. It kept the bathroom and desk area tidy.

-We actually used duck tape on our last cruise (camera battery cover repair, taped the shoe rack down so it didn't slap the wall, repaired a suitcase, and reinforced seal ziploc bag)

-For those traveling with small kids - a rubber door wedge to keep the door SHUT.

-For those traveling with a child in diapers - diaper disposal bags!!!!! Our Dollar Tree has small plastic bags that are lightly scented (100 for $1) and help alleviate the smell if you have to throw them away in your room. We also collected sea shells in them.

-XL Ziploc bag for dirty laundry (then we duck taped it shut and sent it with the rest of our luggage at the end of the cruise)

-GINGER! It does work wonders!

-Lanyard for ID card. Or pouch hung around the neck that serves the same purpose as not all women's shorts have pockets. (they are very easy to make yourself)

-I made our kids towel bags, packed them with their swimmers and they carried them on so they would have them when we first got on the ship -- they were the first ones in the pool! Then we used the towels bags when we went to beaches and even laying out on the deck when the courtesy towels were unavailable.

-The portable DVD player and _copies_ of favorite movies. We had a family member not feeling well during the entire cruise and it helped to have a variety of movies for her to choose from while she was in bed.

Love the candy/hometown token/tip idea!

As for packed and didn't need -- shirts. I always pack too many "dress" shirts and not enough t-shirts.
